This beautiful work is dedicated to Fudo Myo-o (Acala Vidyaraja), the Guardian King of Light & protector of Buddhism. I affixed a silver reflective paper onto illustration board and then used a Cuttlebug Cricut to create two paper circles that I affixed on top of the silver. The deep bright red is an imported gold flecked Chinese rice paper. I then carefully painted a fierce Fudo face in silver ink.
Fudo is symbolic talisman against the forces that bind us & in Shingon he is considered one of the most important deities. As a servant of Dainichi Nyorai a primordial Buddha, he is engulfed in cosmic flames symbolizing immovability and perseverance in the face of adversity. He is the guardian Bodhisattva of those born under the Chinese astrological sign of the Rooster 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017.
• Signed on the back with my Chinese red seal depicting my name "Seigan" (Vow)
