A student of Kawai Gyokudō and later of Okuda Genzo, Kohchu’s artistic journey is marked by prominent awards, including the Japan Art Academy Prize in 2004 for his work “Kureyuku Hakodate.” This piece, a striking depiction of Fudo Myoo (Acala), the immovable Wisdom King, sits at the heart of the Five Great Wisdom Kings and embodies the fierce compassion of Dainichi Nyorai (Vairocana). Fudo Myoo is portrayed with his characteristic ferocious expression, brandishing the sword to cut through ignorance and the rope to bind destructive emotions, represented with rich colors and textures, against a blue and gold-leaf backdrop. In Japan, Fudo Myoo is widely venerated and revered for his power to aid believers with his indomitable spirit. This artwork is not only a religious icon but also a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of Japanese Buddhist art. This vintage item comes in good condition as shown in the photos. Encased in a sleek acrylic box, it makes a profound statement piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Buddhist art and Japanese culture. Please refer to the photographs for a detailed examination of the piece. Dimensions without stand: approx. H 35.5 cm W 18 cm D 8.8 cm Dimensions with acrylic case: approx.
