Sanmen Daikokuten is a three-faced form of Daikokuten, presented here in vivid polychrome on a compact tsuge (boxwood) figure.
This image follows the Mahākāla-derived iconography found in Japanese Esoteric Buddhist traditions, where intensity and resolve are expressed through a wrathful, protective presence.
About this piece
Carved from tsuge (boxwood) and finished in polychrome, this small-scale figure is made as a detailed devotional-style sculpture with a crisp, durable wood grain suited to fine carving. The model follows established Sanmen Daikokuten (Three-Faced Daikokuten / Mahākāla) forms transmitted through Japanese esoteric iconographic lineages, where multi-faced, wrathful protector images are produced according to traditional pattern books and workshop conventions rather than individual portraiture. Pieces of this type are made to preserve a specific, recognizable form—three faces and an emphatic expression—so the image remains consistent with the tradition it references.
Cultural note
In Japan, Daikokuten is widely known as a protective deity associated with well-being and good fortune, and in esoteric Buddhist settings Mahākāla-derived forms are approached as powerful guardians. Wrathful expressions are not treated as “evil” or decorative aggression; they are understood as a disciplined, protective force directed toward removing obstacles. When keeping such an image at home, many people do so with a quiet, respectful intention—placing it in a clean, settled spot, avoiding casual handling, and treating it as an object of reverence rather than a novelty. A simple, consistent approach (tidy surroundings, mindful placement, and gentle care) aligns well with how these images are commonly regarded.
