The image depicts a Japanese-style painting of Fudō Myōō, the Immovable Wisdom King. Fudō Myōō stands centrally, barefoot on a stone block, with his arms crossed over his chest, each hand gripping a cord. He wears a red headpiece and has black hair. His upper body is bare, with a red cloth draped over his left shoulder and around his waist. He has a necklace and various bracelets and ankle rings. Two attendants are positioned on either side, though they are not fully visible. The background of the painting is dark brown with a red and beige border. The painting style appears traditional Japanese, created by Ryūshū Shūtaku, also known as Myōtaku.
