Zaō Gongen

11th century
Not on view
Zao Gongen é um dos raros personagens puramente japoneses incorporados ao panteão budista. Na época em que a imagem foi criada, muitos dos rituais religiosos associados com Zao foram celebrados em templos remotos ocultos nas montanhas. Mediante estas práticas religiosas, os ascetas que viviam nas montanhas tentaram apropriar-se da imensa força física de Zao.
