Statue, Prayer Bead Stand - 20.5 cm - Metal

This metal rosary stand features a rich "Nizome" coloration and serves as a commemorative souvenir from the *Hoon-ko* memorial service held at Isshin-ji Temple in Japan. An outstanding example of Japanese Buddhist commemorative craftsmanship, the piece features a minimalist design depicting a standing female figure clad in a kimono. Characterized by fluid, elegant lines, the work seamlessly blends the uniquely Japanese aesthetic of *Wabi-sabi* with practical functionality—serving both as a stand for hanging or resting prayer beads and as an exquisite desktop ornament. The base bears the inscription "Hoon-ko Commemoration: Isshin-ji Temple," and the original storage box remains preserved in pristine condition. This traditional Japanese artifact possesses not only profound commemorative significance but also exceptional value as a collectible treasure.
