This Fudo Myoo (Acala) statue is crafted in Japan using Takaoka-copperware techniques and finished with an intentionally antique feel.
Often depicted with a sword and lariat, Fudo Myoo is revered for steadfast resolve and compassionate protection—an authoritative presence suited to a quiet home altar, meditation space, or thoughtful interior display.
About this piece
Made from zinc alloy and produced in Japan, this piece is designed to convey a sense of age and dignity. The form draws on traditional iconography in which Fudo Myoo is understood to cut through and bind harmful, polluting thoughts—greed, hatred, and delusion—supporting the practitioner’s path toward clarity.
Cultural note
In Japan, Fudo Myoo is widely venerated within Esoteric Buddhism, including Shingon traditions associated with Kukai (Kobo Daishi). Devotional practice may include mantra recitation; one version chanted in veneration of Fudo Myoo is: “No-maku Samanda Bazara (da) Senda Makaroshada Sowataya (um) Tarata Kanman.” If you keep this statue in your home, it is best approached with the same respect you would offer in a temple setting.

Consecration (Eye-opening Ceremony)
You can choose an option to consecrate this statue before shipping from Japan. If you select this option, we will bring the statue for an eye-opening ceremony and ship it to you after the ritual is complete.
