17th C. Japanese Edo Gilt Wood Deity Figure, Fudo Myoo

Item Details

Description

East Asia, Japan, Edo Period, ca. 17th to 18th century CE. A remarkable wood sculpture of the fierce protector of Buddhist law and one of the Five Kings of Brightness, Fudo Myoo, adorned in white gesso, lustrous gilding, and blue, red, and black pigments. Traditional to his iconography, Fudo is depicted with vibrant blue skin as he stands atop a pile of hewn stones, presenting a strong body dressed in a sash and a layered skirt. A lengthy braid falls onto the god's left shoulder from his tightly coiled coiffure, which is covered by a veil at the back. He bends his arms at the elbows and holds both hands in fists having previously grasped a lasso in the left and a sword in the right. Narrowing his brow, the wrathful deity glares fiercely outwards from angled eyes above a naturalistic nose and fleshy lips with one protruding fang pointed upwards and another downwards - intended as an allegory for the duality and nonduality of his nature and of all reality. Size (without base): 7.8" W x 16.6" H (19.8 cm x 42.2 cm); (with base): 8.9" W x 19.3" H (22.6 cm x 49 cm)

According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Fudo Myoo is the most widely represented of the Buddhist deities known as Myoo, or Kings of Brightness. A fierce protector of the Buddhist Law, he is a direct emanation of the Buddha Dainichi Nyorai, the principal Buddha of Esoteric Buddhism. The first sculptures of Fudo made in Japan were seated, but standing sculptures like this one were carved beginning in the eleventh century. Fudo uses his sword to cut through ignorance and his lasso to reign in those who would block the path to enlightenment. The heavy weight of the shoulders and back is planted firmly on the stiffened legs, appropriate for a deity whose name means 'Immovable.'"

Condition

Reattached to base and professionally repaired with break lines visible. Missing sword and lasso, and losses to toes of left foot. Indentation behind base indicates that he likely previously had a flame attachment. Fragile fissure to left arm and bottom parts of rocks loosely attached. Old inactive insect holes in areas. Expected surface wear with nicks and abrasions, commensurate with age. Otherwise, very nice with great remaining pigments and detail.
