This artwork is a Myo-o statue created using kernel carving, a traditional Chinese craft. Myo-o (明王), or Wisdom Kings, are protective deities in Buddhism who uphold the teachings of the Buddha and ward off evil. They are widely known in Japan, with Fudo Myo-o being a prominent example. They are revered as protectors who, with their fierce appearance, exorcise demons and safeguard people. The material used is natural kernel, meticulously hand-carved by skilled artisans. Please appreciate the power and delicacy contained within this small piece. Recommended as a talisman for warding off evil, a collector's item, or a lucky charm. ※ This product is a one-of-a-kind, hand-carved item. Natural materials are used, so there will be individual differences in color, grain, and shape. ※ Due to the handmade nature of the product, minor scratches and variations in carving depth may be present, but please understand this as a characteristic of the item. ※ Due to the above reasons, returns or exchanges based on differences in color, shape, or carving are not accepted.
