The deity is shown in full length, seated in a cross-legged posture with his legs tucked under him, dressed in traditional Japanese attire. He wears a bright orange robe, adorned with intricate patterns and bordered by a white edge. The deity's body is surrounded by flames, representing his role as the embodiment of wisdom and the destroyer of ignorance. Fudo Myo O is flanked by two attendants, one on each side. The attendants, dressed in similar clothing, are shown in a respectful posture, with their hands pressed together in front of their chests. The deity's fierce expression and the intense flames surrounding him convey a sense of power and determination. This hand-coloured print on paper is a beautiful example of 19th century Buddhist art from Asia.
