This figurine of Bodhidharma is made from lavish Yakusugi cedar, which has survived for over a thousand years in the harsh natural environment of Yakushima, a World Heritage Site.

■ Product Features

• The overwhelming vitality of Yakusugi

  Unlike ordinary cedars, Yakusugi grows very slowly, resulting in extremely dense grain and a rich resin content. Its dense texture and unique fragrance that deepens with age make it truly worthy of being called "the tree where the gods reside."

• The fascinating shape of the "Katsu" character carved using a single stroke of the sword

  With a sharp gaze that refuses to waver, a protruding jaw, and a solid posture, this dynamic sculpture makes the most of the quality of the material, and gives the viewer courage and vitality.

• Standing tall at 28cm, it has a majestic presence.

  Its moderate height allows the warmth of Yakusugi cedar to blend in with any space. By placing it in an important place, such as the entrance or living room of your home or a company reception room, it will purify the space and become a symbol of sobering spirit.

■ Good luck and benefits

• Fall down seven times, get up eight: A symbol of the "indomitable spirit" of getting back up no matter how many times you fail.

• Prosperity in business and protection from misfortune: As a guardian deity, it wards off misfortune with its stern gaze and brings good fortune.

• Fulfilling your dreams: A partner to help you achieve your goals with strong will.
