Description

Acala (不動明王)

“Fudō Myōō compassionately burns, clears, and binds our passions, suffering, and pain, guiding us toward truth. Appearing with the Kurikara Dragon, he purifies the mind and offers protection.”
不動明王は慈悲で私達の煩悩、苦しみ、痛みを焼き切り、払い、そしてひもでくくってくれる。倶利伽羅龍とともに現れ、心を浄化し守護してくれる。

This painting depicts Fudō Myōō, the Wisdom King, accompanied by the Kurikara Dragon, a symbol of purification and spiritual power.
Created with high-purity precipitated indigo, bengara natural pigments, tempera, and oil on canvas, Acala conveys the transformative energy that burns away suffering and illuminates the path to truth.

The deep indigo and earthy tones evoke spiritual depth, while the dragon’s dynamic form channels protection and purification — a meditation on strength, compassion, and clarity.
