Standing Statue of Fudō Myōō (Hie Shrine)

During the Edo period, Shōkaku-ji—the bettō-ji (a temple charged with safeguarding the shrine)—was built on the east side of the shrine complex. This statue is said to have been the principal image enshrined at Shōkaku-ji. Although the exact date of its creation is unknown, its style suggests it was made during the late Muromachi period; it features a slender form exuding a sense of tension.

The halo is believed to have been restored during the Edo period. Made of painted marquetry; the statue stands 80.5 cm tall.
