Product Lineup

Suigetsu Kannon (Water-Moon Avalokiteshvara)

＊SOLD OUT＊

Modeled after a wooden sculpture from the Liao dynasty housed in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in the United States. Considered among the finest examples of Chinese Buddhist sculpture that have left the country, it is often praised as one of the most beautiful extant statues. Its poetic and Zen-like presence, combined with a dignified form, is truly captivating.

Kissyoten (Auspicious Goddess)

Based on a polychrome clay statue from the Jin dynasty held at Shanhua Temple in Shanxi, China. The black glass inlaid in the eyes appears to hold tears in the light, expressing a gentle compassion that continues to move viewers.

Nyoirin Kannon (Cintamani Chakra Avalokiteshvara)

＊SOLD OUT＊

A three-dimensional interpretation by Yanxidian based on a mural in Cave 14 of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. The halo following the tilted upper body creates a charming impression. This form of Avalokiteshvara became widely revered among both Han Chinese and Tibetan cultures after the introduction of Esoteric Buddhism during the Tang dynasty.

Idaten (Skanda)

＊SOLD OUT＊

Based on a Ming dynasty polychrome statue housed in the Shuanglin Temple in Pingyao, Shanxi. Renowned for its dynamic sense of movement and a face that combines martial vigor with scholarly elegance, it is considered one of the finest Skanda statues in China.

Modeled after a Northern Qi (6th century) stone Buddha unearthed at the site of Longxing Temple, now housed in the Qingzhou Museum. Celebrated as “the most beautiful smile of the East,” its gentle expression captivates viewers from every angle, earning it the nickname “the Mona Lisa of the East.”

＊SOLD OUT＊

A variant of Suigetsu Kannon, distinguished by a relief of purple bamboo behind the figure. Modeled after one of the most beautiful cliff-carved Buddhist images in Sichuan, China, it harmonizes a dignified expression with a relaxed posture, radiating a strong presence.

＊SOLD OUT＊

Modeled after the attendants flanking Amitabha in Cave 45 of the Mogao Caves. Known as “the most beautiful bodhisattvas of Dunhuang,” they embody both the fullness aesthetic of the Tang dynasty and the sacred elegance of Buddhist sculpture, with lifelike realism and vitality.

＊SOLD OUT＊

Modeled after a polychrome wooden statue housed in the National Museum of China in Beijing. Carved from a single block during the Northern Song dynasty (10th–12th century), it is admired for its relaxed posture and ornate decoration. The softly remaining original colors lend it a gentle, sepia-like warmth.

Based on life-sized Liao dynasty arhats in the British Museum. Originally discovered in Hebei, China, these figures were dispersed overseas; today, eleven are held in museums across France, the United States, and beyond. Their exceptional realism continues to fascinate audiences worldwide.

A principal guardian deity revered across Tibetan Buddhist traditions. This piece is Yanxidian’s original three-dimensional interpretation based on research into Tibetan mandalas, and is the most distinctly Chinese-style work in this collection.
