Buddha Pencil Holder

Hotei, Japanese; Pu-tai Ho-shang, in Chinese, derived from Mi-lo Fu ~ he's a Chinese Zen master who wandered homeless and happy. He would often entertain kids with goodies from his back sack, sometimes containing stuff found from his travels. Originally considered a bodhisattva who'd become the next Buddha, Maitreya, these days he's merely a good luck token: people rub his big belly and make a wish.

Made of ceramic bisque and wonderful with detail, this happy buddha with pencil holder resembling Mah Jong tiles, is sure to bring good luck to you. Simply place him on you desk and enjoy life.
