Zaō Gongen

11th century
Not on view
Zaō Gongen es uno de los raros personajes puramente japoneses incorporados al panteón budista. En la época en la que se creó esta imagen, muchos de los ritos asociados con Zaō se celebraban en remotos templos ocultos en áreas agrestes. Mediante esas prácticas religiosas los ascéticos que vivían en las montañas pretendían apropiarse de la inmensa fuerza física de Zaō.
