Kannon Statue in Organic Bark Form, Japan, 20th Century / Japanese, Sculpture

About the Item

An evocative and beautifully hand-carved wooden sculpture of Kannon, delicately enshrined within a natural bark-like form. This piece blends devotional reverence with organic artistry. The gentle figure of Kannon stands in a quiet pose, symbolizing compassion and spiritual protection. Her form emerges from the surrounding natural wood, as if sheltered within a sacred grotto or tree. The contrast between the finely polished inner figure and the textured, raw outer surface creates a powerful visual and symbolic balance — between the natural world and spiritual presence. This sculpture makes a poetic addition to a wabi-sabi-inspired interior, spiritual space, or personal collection. It embodies a quiet strength, traditional craftsmanship, and deep respect for nature and spirit.
