Wandering thru stores that sell chinese ceramics or buddhist supplies one could be forgiven for thinking Chinese and other Mahayana Buddhists only revere Kuanyin Hotei and the Buddha. I suspect there's a factory somewhere where some one said ... just change the hands in the mold!
There are other Boddhisattvas.
REMINDER

Boddhisattva of Action and law this entity is also known as

Japan FUGEN
Korea PoHyon

Paintings and sculptures usually depict him in a trinity or group with the Buddha or other Boddhisattvas but also sometimes on his elephant and other times standing or on a lotus throne.
The Tibetans seem to prefer depict him in Tantric congress.
