Description: Budai stands on a cloth sack, holding a scepter in one hand and a palm-leaf fan in the other. The bronze statue is adorned with gilt decorations, and the items in both hands are removable or interchangeable. The statue stands 11 inches tall, 5.25 inches wide, and weighs 3 pounds 9 ounces. ❤️The image of Budai originated in China. He was a monk named Qici during the Five Dynasties period (around the 10th century), known for always carrying a large cloth sack, which gave him his name. Qici had a cheerful and peaceful disposition, and he was later regarded as an incarnation of Maitreya Buddha. In China, Budai became widely known for his kind and approachable appearance. Later, the image of Budai spread to Japan, where he became an important figure in Japanese Buddhism and folk culture. Particularly in Zen Buddhism and Japanese folklore, Budai is considered one of the Seven Lucky Gods, symbolizing happiness, prosperity, and laughter. Therefore, although Budai’s origins lie in China, he also holds significant importance in Japan, where his image has been reinterpreted within local culture.
