Acala Determination Determined Fudo Myo O Fudō Myōō Heian Period Helmet Vairocana Wrath Wrathful Blade

EDITORS COMMENTS
Fudo Myoo, also known as Acala or Vairocana, is a powerful and wrathful deity in Japanese Buddhism, often depicted as a fierce protector and destroyer of evil. This exquisite 12th-century sculpture, believed to be from the Heian period (1087-1185), showcases Fudo Myoo in full regalia, ready for battle against the forces of ignorance and hatred. The statue, which measures approximately 28 inches in height and is made of wood with traces of pigment, is a stunning example of Heian period art. Fudo Myoo is depicted standing with his legs firmly planted on the ground, his determined expression and clenched fists conveying a sense of unwavering resolve. He wears intricately designed armor, adorned with geometric patterns and intricate detailing, and wields a sword and a flame-encircled vajra in each hand. The sculpture's surface is worn and weathered, a testament to its age and the passage of time. The intricate details of the armor and the subtle textures of the wood are still visible, however, revealing the skill and artistry of the unknown artist who created this masterpiece over 900 years ago. Fudo Myoo's image has been a source of inspiration and protection for generations of Japanese people, and this sculpture is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The close-up view of the statue reveals the intricacies of the armor and the subtle details of the facial features, adding to the sense of awe and reverence inspired by this powerful deity.
