ZOCHOTEN ZO (STATUE OF VIRUDHAKA)

Comments
This statue also is standing erect squarely in the same way as Jikokuten, with a slight move of the right knee. Although furious anger is expressed on its figure, its round face, closed eyes, fleshy cheeks, and lips pressed into a thin line give rather a quiet impression in spite of such wrathful look.
