Senju Kannon (Senju-sengen Kanjisai Bosatsu) is a Japanese expression of Avalokiteshvara (Kannon), presented here with an intentionally antique feeling and a calm, dignified presence.
Carved in hinoki (Japanese cypress), this piece is suited to a home altar, a meditation space, or a quiet interior setting where you want a composed focal point.
About this piece
This statue is a wood-carved work made from hinoki (Japanese cypress) and finished to evoke an aged, antique character. The form follows established Japanese Buddhist iconographic models for Senju Kannon—developed through temple sculpture lineages and workshop traditions—where multiple arms are arranged in a balanced, symmetrical composition. Such images have long been produced for temple halls and household devotional settings, reflecting a tradition of commissioning Kannon figures as enduring objects of practice and remembrance.
Cultural note
In Japan, Kannon (Kanzeon Bosatsu) images are widely revered across Buddhist traditions as compassionate presences associated with attentive care and relief of suffering. When kept in the home, they are generally approached with a quiet, respectful mindset—placed thoughtfully, kept clean, and handled with care—rather than treated as casual décor. Many people choose a simple, orderly setting and avoid placing the figure in areas associated with disorder or disregard; specific customs can vary by family, temple, and lineage.
