Description
DESCRIPTION: A finely carved antique Japanese icon of Aizen Myo-o, seated on a raised double lotus dais with six arms holding attributes and hands held in various mudra. He is surrounded by a circular nimbus containing celestial flames that pronounce his divinity as 'Vidyaraja' - King of Light. He is the deity of amorous passion, transmuted in esoteric Buddhism into an unwavering desire for awakening. Among the Japanese people, he is the deity of conception, and like the Greek God Eros, carries a bow and arrow.  This deity is strongly associated with the Shingon and Tendai Sects of Buddhism, however, he is also a popular deity amongst artists and geisha. Meiji / Taisho Period.
