The principal deity differs depending on the sect of your family temple, so please choose according to your sect. Please choose the dimensions of the principal deity to match the size of the inside of your altar.

This Buddha statue was supervised by "Master Buddhist Sculptor Hokari Kodo," who created the 18-foot Fudo Myoo at Naritasan Fukagawa Fudodo. Crafted from beautiful, lustrous, and highly durable white wood, each piece is meticulously finished with attention to detail. As proof of supervision, the base bears the vermilion seal of Hokari Kodo. This is a masterpiece carved from a single piece of wood.

This product is available in the following sizes: 1.8 sun (height 15.5 cm), 2 sun (height 17.5 cm), 2.5 sun (height 22 cm), and 3 sun (height 25 cm).
