@skulloljorv: Fudō Myōō, the Immovable Wisdom King (Achala Vidyaraja) By Kaikei,  Japanese early 13th century Fudō Myōō is worshipped as a wrathful avatar of Dainichi Nyorai (Vairocana Buddha). A tenacious protector of Buddhist teachings, Fudō is armed with a lasso and sword to subdue negative forces. In keeping with scriptural descriptions, this example, created in the workshop of the leading sculptor Kaikei, portrays a full-bodied, menacing figure biting his lower lip, with his hair bound and falling over his left shoulder.
