Handcrafted Myoken Bosatsu Statue in Red and Gold Zushi Cabinet
Timeless Elegance and Spiritual Significance
Discover the divine elegance of the Myoken Bosatsu (Bodhisattva) statue, resplendent within its ornate red and gold Zushi cabinet. Despite the absence of the sword, the exquisite facial details reflect the statue's majestic history. Myoken, revered as Sonshō-Ō, symbolizes the celestial spirit of the North Star, blending artistic craftsmanship with profound spiritual meaning.
A Unique Blend of Heritage and Faith
