A carved figure of Fudō Myōō (Acala) shown with the Kurikara (Sankoken) sword—an iconic form associated with steadfastness and disciplined resolve in Japanese esoteric Buddhist imagery.
This piece is made in hinoki (Japanese cypress) and sized for a shelf, desk, or small altar space, with clear sculptural details that emphasize the sword, rope, and flame-backed silhouette traditionally used for this deity.
About this piece
Crafted as a small-scale wood carving in hinoki cypress, this statue follows a widely recognized Japanese iconographic model of Fudō Myōō holding the Kurikara (Sankoken) sword and a rope, with a flame halo behind. The form reflects established patterns seen across temple sculpture and devotional images in the Shingon and other esoteric lineages, where this specific arrangement of attributes has been repeated for generations to preserve a consistent visual standard. Made in China, it is produced as a contemporary devotional-style carving based on that traditional model rather than as a one-off studio artwork.
Cultural note
In Japan, images of Fudō Myōō are part of mikkyō (esoteric Buddhism) and are approached as sacred representations rather than decorative motifs. Fudō is understood as a protective, resolute figure who supports disciplined practice and the removal of hindrances; his fierce expression is traditionally read as directed toward obstacles, not toward people. Many households and temples treat such images with a quiet, respectful mindset—placing them in a clean, stable spot, avoiding casual handling, and approaching the figure with sincerity (even a brief moment of greeting or gratitude is common). If you choose to display this piece, it is generally considered appropriate to keep it elevated, uncluttered, and away from places associated with impurity or disregard.
