In this painting, he is seated in the full lotus position (a sitting position where one interlocks one\u2019s legs) atop a hewn stone base, holding a flaming sword in his right hand, and a coil of rope in his left. The stone base, or shitsushitsu-za, typically refers to a base of precious gems, and is specific to depictions of Fud\u014d My\u014d\u014d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is flanked by his attendants: Kongara D\u014dji on the right, and Seitaka D\u014dji on the left. At the lower right of the image is Renge D\u014dji, clasping a long lotus flower stem, and at the lower left are five messengers turned towards Fud\u014d My\u014d\u014d, their hands pressed together in worship. The background has been left unpainted, and the flaming nimbuses haloing each deity have been painstakingly rendered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This painting strongly resembles the painting of Fud\u014d My\u014d\u014d at Onj\u014d-ji Temple (modern day Mii-dera) in Shiga Prefecture; indeed, it is a faithful copy brought back by Chish\u014d Daishi (also known as Enchin) (814\u2013891), a Tendai Buddhist scholar-monk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was bequeathed to the Homma family in 1924 by Kikuchi Sh\u016bgen, then-abbot of their ancestral temple, J\u014dfukuji Temple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamakura period (13th century) Tangible Cultural Property, designated by Yamagata Prefecture Donated by the Ho&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2706"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2706\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2707,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2706\/revisions\/2707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
