EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print depicts the Buddhist deity Katen, also known as Fudo Myo-o or Acala. Katen is a wrathful form of Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, who is believed to protect Buddhism and help guide lost souls to enlightenment. The deity is shown here in full length, standing boldly with his right leg bent and left foot raised, as if ready to tread on the evil forces that obstruct the path to Buddhahood. His fiery orange body is adorned with various symbols of power, including a crown of flames, a trident, and a vajra in each hand. The intense expression on his face conveys his fierce determination to vanquish ignorance and suffering. This beautifully hand-colored print on paper is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The intricate details of Katen's body, clothing, and accessories are rendered with great care and precision, making this an exquisite work of art that transcends time and culture. The exact origin of this print is unknown, but it is a reminder of the enduring influence of Buddhism on the arts and spiritual practices of Asia. Today, it is a cherished addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
