Usagi Fudō-son (Rabbit Fudō) presents Fudō Myō-ō in a contemporary animal form—gentle in expression, yet alert and steady.
Created by the contemporary artist Goh Sakai (Hotokeya Sakai), known for reimagining Buddhist figures through familiar forms, this piece is associated with Mikamo Fudō Temple, a site noted for purification and goma rituals.
About this piece
This is a contemporary sculptural interpretation of Fudō Myō-ō rendered as a rabbit, produced as an artist-designed figure by Goh Sakai under the name Hotokeya Sakai. The model follows Sakai’s established approach—seen in his widely recognized Neko Butsu series—of translating classical Buddhist iconography into approachable animal silhouettes while keeping the work grounded as a crafted object. The “Usagi Fudō-son” form exists within modern Japanese Buddhist folk-art practice and is connected in presentation to Mikamo Fudō Temple, where Fudō devotion and goma rites provide the traditional reference point for commissioning and displaying related images.
Cultural note
In Japan, images of Fudō Myō-ō are generally regarded as protective Buddhist icons within Esoteric Buddhism (Mikkyō), approached with a sense of respect rather than as casual décor. At a high level, Fudō is understood as a steadfast guardian figure associated with resolve and the removal of obstacles. When placed in a home or personal space, it is customary to treat the image with clean hands, a calm intention, and a considerate setting—often slightly elevated and kept tidy—so the figure is “received” as an honored presence. Even in contemporary, character-like interpretations such as this rabbit form, many people maintain the same basic etiquette: avoid placing it directly on the floor, keep it away from clutter, and handle it thoughtfully.
