Zaō Gongen est un rare exemple de contribution purement japonaise au panthéon bouddhique. À l’époque de la création de cette œuvre, nombre de pratiques religieuses associées à la divinité Zaō avaient cours dans les temples isolés des régions montagneuses. Les ascètes tentaient par ce moyen de s’approprier la puissance physique de Zaō.
