When the capital was moved from Nara to Kyoto, the Tobatsu Bisyamonten statue was enshrined on top of the main gate, known as the Rajo-mon. This statue is owned by Toji Temple, which is famous for its five-story pagoda, a symbol of Kyoto, and is designated as a national treasure.
During the Tang Dynasty, a castle in the Western Region of China * was attacked, which then Bisyamonten appeared and dispersed the enemies.
Strong beliefs in Tobatsu Bisyamonten were developed over this legend, which is why the tall crown and chain-linked armor have strong Western characteristics.
The pose of Tobatsu Bisyamonten standing on the palm of Chitennyo, the earth goddess, flanked by two demons is also unique.
＊To the West from Chang’an, the capital of Tang, near Turpan and Tibet.
