Fudō Myōō (Achala Vidyaraja)
The image depicts Fudō Myōō (Achala Vidyaraja), a bronze sculpture of a standing male figure with a stern expression. He has curly hair and a mustache. He wears a necklace and a long robe with an intricate design. The robe drapes over his left shoulder and wraps around his waist. A sash or cloth wraps around his waist. The figure has a bare torso and is barefoot. He holds a sword in his right hand, positioned vertically with the hilt near his waist. His left arm hangs down by his side. The background is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray and white at the bottom, with a shadow cast to the right of the figure.
