The stamp on the bottom reads 'Samurai' hand painted and made in Japan. I'd love to know are there more similar pieces out there and how popular are these pieces- my guess is it isn't that valuable and it was just made for the tourist market.

Rakan Kannon is a manifestation of the Bodhisattva Kannon in Buddhism, particularly revered in Japanese Buddhist temples. Rakan refers to the Arhat in Chinese-translated Buddhist scriptures, signifying individuals who have fully understood the teachings of Buddha and attained enlightenment.
In depictions of Rakan Kannon, Kannon Bodhisattva is often portrayed alongside Arhats, either seated or standing. This representation symbolizes Kannon's compassion and salvific power, working together with the Arhats to rescue sentient beings. Rakan Kannon is particularly venerated in Zen Buddhism, as well as in Japanese Pure Land Buddhism, Shingon Buddhism
