Discover the divine elegance of our handcrafted Myoken Bosatsu (Bodhisattva) statue, resplendent in its red and gold Zushi cabinet.
While it bears the marks of time with the absence of the sword, the exquisite facial details speak volumes of its majestic history. Myoken, revered as Sonshō-Ō, embodies the North Star's celestial spirit.
Intriguingly, this piece carries a dual heritage; it's believed to have served as a symbol of faith for hidden Christians, who saw the cross in its form, blending Buddhist tradition with covert Christian worship.
Embrace this fusion of spirituality and history with our Myoken statue, a figure once honored as the mighty God Emperor Zeus.
