In artistic representations Fudou is generally shown either alone or flanked by Kongara and Seitaka to create the Fudou Triad (fudou sanzon) as represented. There are few examples of him accompanied by all eight of these attendants (Hachidai Douji). The dark patination achieved by the original polychrome colors has resulted into a shibui expression of the image. The Kohai or Mandorla is resting on Fudo Himself and has some minor repairs. Very lucky for this to have survived since Early~Mid Edo (1600s-1700).

Fudo is a personification of Dainichi Nyorai, and the best known of the Myo-o, who are venerated especially by the Shingon sect of Japanese Esoteric Buddhism. Fudo converts anger into salvation; has furious, glaring face, as Fudo seeks to frighten people into accepting the teachings of Dainichi; carries "kurikara" or devil-subduing sword in right hand (representing wisdom cutting through ignorance); holds rope in left hand (to catch and bind up demons); often has third eye in forehead (all-seeing); often seated or standing on rock (because Fudo is "immovable" in his faith). Fudo is also worshipped as a deity who can bring monetary fortune. (http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/fudo.html)
