Dimensions: 27.5 inches tall. and 10.5 inches wide. Handmade and hand-carved with original remnants of hand painted red color A very scarce representation. Good garden candidate! History of Jizo: Jizo Bosatsu is one of the most beloved of all Japanese divinities, Jizo¯ works to ease the suffering and to answer the prayers of the living for health, success, children, and all manner of mundane petitions. In modern Japan, Jizo¯ is a savior par excellence, a friend to all. He is notably a protector of travelers and children. History of Fudo myo (Acala): Acala (Sanskrit: "immovable") is a dharmapala primarily revered in Vajrayana Buddhism. He is a protective deity particularly in Shingon traditions of Japan where he is known as Fudo Myoo, in Tangmi traditions China, in Nepal and Tibet as Candarosana, and elsewhere in Tantric Buddhism.He is classed among the Wisdom Kings and preeminent among the Five Wisdom Kings of the Womb Realm. Accordingly, his figure occupies an important hierarchical position in the pictorial diagramatic Mandala of the Two Realms. He mirrors Vidyaraja, or "king of knowledge" in Sanskrit texts of Buddhism.In Japan, Acala is highly venerated in the Shingon Buddhism, Tendai, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism and in Shugendo. Fudo Myo is also highly revered amongst some Yakuza members, who oftentimes draw on his intense facial expression and demeanor. Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity.
