I have a question about the style of Manjushri statue used by Soto Zen practitioners. On the Shotoshu website there is a page about how to do Zen and on that page it states.

If possible, a statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva should be enshrined in the room.

I am thinking about getting one for my home alter but I don't know what style to look for. The two most common types I see are:

manjusri1.jpg

and

manjusri2.jpg

Are either of these correct? Or does it matter.

I kind of like him on the lion.
