Buddha figurines

Buddha figurines create harmonious and complete bonsai arrangements, adding to the atmosphere of Zen and meditation. They not only decorate, but also carry deep symbolism, reminding of the importance of inner balance and life's path.
One of the most recognizable deities in East Asian culture, especially in Japan and China is Hotei, one of the Seven Gods of Happiness. He is widely known as the “Laughing Buddha.” Hotei's real-life prototype was a Chinese wandering good monk with a cheerful disposition named Qi Qi. He was short, bald and had a big round belly. He walked through the villages with a huge canvas sack - Hotei (hence the character's name). According to legend, Hotei brought health, prosperity and joy in the bag, and carried away human problems and troubles, forever getting rid of them.
