Symbol of Powerful Protection: Kongo Rikishi Statues. We have recreated the Kongo Rikishi (Niō-sama), the guardian deities who protect sacred grounds at temple gates, in their Agyō (open mouth) and Ungyō (closed mouth) forms, as exquisite miniature replicas.
Their powerful forms, with expressions of anger to repel evil, will protect the owner and the space from disaster.
"A Set of Two: A-Un" This is a set of two, featuring both the Agyō and Ungyō, which symbolize the beginning and end of things, as well as harmony.
Displaying them as a pair holds a stronger meaning as a charm against evil and misfortune, making them ideal as auspicious items for wishing peace in your home or office.
As guardian deities enshrined at temple mountain gates (Niōmon), the statues at Tōdai-ji's Nandaimon (by Unkei and Kaikei) from the 12th-13th centuries are particularly famous.
Since ancient times, it has been customary to place them in pairs at the entrance of the Buddhist world, symbolizing the "boundary between the outside world and the sacred ground."
"Made of Brass" The material used is brass, which gains a deeper character with the passage of time.
Unlike plastic, they possess a unique weight and a calm, antique-like luster, exuding a presence despite their small size.
"Compact Size, For Gifts and Collections" They are palm-sized, approximately 6.8cm in height.
They are perfect for placement not only at the entrance, in the living room, on a desk, or on a household altar, but can also be carried as a protective charm.
They will quietly and powerfully watch over you while blending into your daily scenery.
These are highly recommended not only for those who love Buddhist art but also as gifts for housewarmings, opening celebrations, or prayers for good health.
Please welcome these exquisite pieces, showcasing craftsmanship that has meticulously attended to every delicate detail, into your hands.
