Seishi Bosatsu (Mahāsthāmaprāpta) is presented here in a calm gasshō (hands-joined) posture, a form often associated with reverence and focused intention.
Made in Japan with an antique-style finish, this piece is suited to a quiet corner of the home—whether you approach it as a devotional image or as a contemplative object for everyday reflection.
About this piece
In Pure Land traditions, Seishi Bosatsu is known as an attendant of Amida Nyorai alongside Kannon Bosatsu, representing the aspect of wisdom. In depictions of Amida’s welcoming retinue, Seishi is often shown near Kannon, hands joined in prayer. This statue is crafted using Takaoka-copperware techniques and finished to evoke an antique feeling.
Cultural note
Bodhisattva images are meaningful in many Buddhist communities and are traditionally treated with respect. If you display this figure at home, consider placing it in a clean, slightly elevated spot, and avoid positioning it directly on the floor or in areas associated with clutter or casual handling.

Consecration (Eye-opening Ceremony)
You can choose an option to consecrate this statue before shipping from Japan. If you select this option, we will bring the statue for an eye-opening ceremony and ship it to you after the ritual is complete.
This is recommended if you want your statue to be more than an object — a presence you can practice with. This option is not required.
