EDITORS COMMENTS
Fudo Myoo, also known as Acala or Fudō Myōō, is a powerful and wrathful deity in Japanese Buddhism, often depicted as a fierce warrior ready to vanquish evil. This exquisite hand-carved sculpture, created during the Heian period in Japan around 1125, showcases Fudo Myoo's determined and unwavering expression. The deity is depicted wearing a helmet adorned with intricate patterns, a voluminous robe, and holding a vajra in his right hand and a bell in his left. His torso is covered in intricate carvings, representing the various aspects of his wrathful nature. The wooden sculpture, with traces of pigment still visible, is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of the artist of the time. The close-up image reveals the intricate details of the carving, from the textured armor to the delicate folds of the robe. This powerful and evocative sculpture is a significant piece of Asian art, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Heian period. Currently, it is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
