The sword represents the cutting away of delusion and ignorance, while the rope symbolizes the binding of harmful forces and uncontrolled passions. The surrounding flames represent purification, burning away negative influences and obstacles. A dragon-like figure appears within the flaming halo above his head, while the detailed ornaments, necklaces, garments, and carved pedestal complete the traditional representation of Fudō Myōō in Buddhist sculpture. His immovable posture upon the rock reflects steadfastness and unwavering determination, while his wrathful appearance expresses compassionate action used to guide beings toward the right path.
