Pray for warding off misfortune with their wrathful expressions and fierce spirit! 12cm tall

Pray for protection from misfortune with their overwhelming presence. The luxurious yet intricate carvings are a sight to behold.

This is a masterpiece of a Kongorikishi statue, full of powerful, sensual beauty. Their wrathful expressions, thwarting evil, and bulging muscles, exude a tremendous spirit throughout their bodies.

Kongo Rikishi, also known as "Nio-sama," are the guardian deities of the Buddhist heavenly realm. They are often placed in front of temple gates in pairs—the "A-gyo" statue with its open mouth and the "Un-gyo" statue with its firm, taut mouth—to drive away enemies of Buddhism and evil spirits. Their brows are raised and their eyes are wide open, representing a menacing expression. The wildly fluttering heavenly robes, the movement of every muscle, the arms with bulging veins, and even the fingertips and toes are beautifully depicted. You'll be awed by the intricate carving, which is bold yet extremely realistic. Be sure to enshrine them as guardian deities, praying for the peace of your family. Each statue is handcrafted by artisans and Buddhist sculptors. The wood grain and color may vary slightly from one statue to another.
