The gold gilding highlights the deeply engraved carvings across the deity’s body, ornaments, garments, rocky pedestal, and flaming aureole, creating a remarkable three-dimensional effect. The carefully applied acrylic colors enhance the fierce expression, flowing hair, flames, and decorative elements, adding depth and contrast to the sculpture.

The sculpture depicts Fudō Myōō in his powerful wrathful form, seated firmly upon a rocky pedestal and surrounded by a blazing flame aureole. He is shown with a fierce facial expression, intense eyes, and prominent fangs, representing his uncompromising appearance used to confront ignorance and obstacles. His right hand holds a straight sword raised beside his body, while his left hand holds a rope. The sword represents cutting through delusion and ignorance, while the rope symbolizes binding harmful forces and controlling negative passions. His upward-rising hair, detailed crown, necklaces, ornaments, and richly carved garments add to the powerful appearance of the figure, while the flames surrounding him represent purification and transformation.
