Fudo Myo-o (Acala) (不動明王立像)

A composed, powerful representation of Fudō Myō-ō modeled after a renowned Kamakura-period image attributed to the master sculptor Unkei.

This polystone figure is made to echo the presence and proportions of the original Important Cultural Property enshrined at a temple founded by the early Kamakura military commander Wada Yoshimori.

About this piece

Produced as a molded polystone replica, this work follows the form of an Important Cultural Property statue created by Unkei. The original is housed in a temple established by Wada Yoshimori, and the model is valued as a record of Unkei’s active period in eastern Japan. Replicas like this exist to make historically significant temple images accessible for study and appreciation while keeping the original preserved in its religious setting.

Cultural note

In Japan, Fudō Myō-ō (Acala) is widely revered in Esoteric Buddhist traditions as a protector figure associated with steadfast resolve and the removal of obstacles. Images like this are approached with respect as sacred representations: people commonly place them in a clean, settled spot, avoid casual or playful handling, and treat the area around the image with care and attentiveness. If displayed at home, it is generally considered appropriate to keep the figure at a dignified height and to handle it with clean hands and a calm, considerate mindset.
