This Japanese monk statue is more simple, subtle works compared to more ornate Buddhist art of Tibet, China, and Thailand. This standing version is almost 2 feet tall. Interesting, creative, home décor can help turn an unadorned dorm room, apartment, or house into a warm, special place to relax and renew our strength and emotional balance. A unique alternative to common interior design accessories. For some, Japanese art imparts an element of Asian style and design that inspires access to inner resources we all have but don't always use. In Asian gift giving, a Buddha statue or a Buddhist monk statue is a thoughtful gift of respect and friendship, and we believe they will make good gifts right here in the USA as well.
