Fudō Myōō — Tōji-gata Zafudō is a compact seated figure modeled after the Tō-ji style associated with Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, expressing steadiness through a composed, meditative posture.
Carved in tsuge (boxwood), this piece presents Fudō holding a bell in one hand and a sword in the other—an iconographic pairing that is characteristic of this seated form and gives the sculpture a clear, focused presence at close range.
About this piece
This is a small-scale tsuge boxwood carving, finished to emphasize crisp edges and legible attributes within a compact silhouette. The model follows the “Tōji-gata” (Tō-ji style) seated type of Fudō Myōō, a form preserved and referenced through temple-held images and workshop lineages connected to Shingon visual tradition. Seated variants like this exist within established iconographic schools to present Fudō in a contained, immovable stance, distinct from more dynamic standing depictions, and are made as faithful renditions of recognized temple styles.
Cultural note
In Japan, images of Fudō Myōō (Acala) are approached as devotional icons within Buddhist practice, especially in Shingon contexts, where Fudō is regarded as a protective figure associated with steadfast resolve and the removal of obstacles. Such statues are typically treated with respect: placed thoughtfully, kept clean, and handled with calm intention rather than as casual décor. Many people avoid placing Buddhist images directly on the floor, and they may choose a stable, slightly elevated spot that feels orderly and considerate; if the piece is moved, it is commonly done with clean hands and a mindful attitude.
