Kannon Bosatsu is one of the bodhisattvas in Buddhism and has been widely worshipped since ancient times in East Asian Buddhism, especially in Japan and China.
Kannon Bosatsu is called "Kannon-sama" and has been widely loved by the general public since old times. In the "Kannon Sutra," Kannon Bosatsu is said to be a bodhisattva who grants fearlessness, and is a Buddha of this world who saves all sentient beings (shujou).
A guardian principal deity that brings broad benefits. It can be used as a principal deity for a butsudan, a talisman against evil, or as an attractive interior decoration, with a size suitable for enjoying in daily life.
This Kannon Bosatsu statue is made from natural high-quality boxwood, carefully carved by artisans. The fine-grained, pale yellow boxwood has been regarded since ancient times as an excellent high-grade material perfect for craftwork.
What is Byakue Kannon?
It is named Byakue Kannon because of the meaning "draped in white robes."
In contrast to the transformative Kannon born in India, there are thirty-three Kannon Bosatsu worshipped only in China and Japan.
It was compiled during the Edo period to match the number "thirty-three," representing bodhisattvas who change their appearances in thirty-three forms to save people.
Byakue Kannon is one type of Kannon-sama.
It is also said to be the wife of Amida Nyorai.
She is also the mother of Kannon Bosatsu. Therefore, she is often depicted with a feminine expression.
Appearance of Byakue Kannon (white-robed Kannon)
It is common for her to wear white robes and cover her head with a white cloth like a veil.
This appearance is said to have been devised during the Tang Dynasty in China. Many statues have a very feminine appearance.
