Hand-carved Buddhist statue Enku Buddha Benzaiten No. 713 Size: Approximately 12 x 3 x 4 cm Material: Domestic Japanese cypress (hinoki) Motif: Benzaiten Reconstructed based on a Benzaiten statue from a private collection in Nishikasugai-gun, Aichi Prefecture. This is the second time using this motif; the face is more dignified and shows strength compared to the previous one. ☆ Two small wooden Buddhas made from scrap wood will be included. ★ Please let me know if you would like a red seal (rakkan) on the back or not. The second image is a sample. This Buddha statue fits in the palm of your hand and can be with you anywhere. Made of domestic Japanese cypress, it has a pleasant fragrance. As a characteristic of hand-carving, there may be asymmetry and splinters. ★ Immediate purchase is OK, but please read the self-introduction below if you wish. ★ [Self-Introduction] My name is Keikan, and I hand-carve Enku Buddhas. I am self-taught and aim to carve 10,000 Enku Buddhas. Enku spent his life giving them to people in return for a night's lodging and a meal. For the people of that time, Enku Buddhas may not have been considered works of art. I hope that my Enku Buddhas are the same. They are palm-sized, can be placed anywhere, and can be taken anywhere. I want people to feel the Buddha in their daily lives. I believe that an Enku Buddha is not complete until it reaches someone's hands, so I am offering this for sale. I am still inexperienced, but I have, presumptuously, set a price so that it can reach your hands. It covers the cost of domestic Japanese cypress materials, shipping, Mercari fees, and packaging materials. Please refrain from price negotiations. m(_ _)m ★ It will be carefully packaged and shipped via Yu-Packet Post. Please understand the above before purchasing. m(_ _)m ★ Search for "Keikan" on Instagram. I post creation process videos, etc.
