KOBAYASHI KIYOCHIKA. The Fury of Monk Raigo

The Fury of Monk Raigo. Artist: Kobayashi Kiyochika (Japanese, 1847-1915). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 42 1/2 × 31 in. (108 × 78.7 cm)
Overall with mounting: 84 7/8 × 37 1/8 in. (215.6 × 94.3 cm)
Overall with knobs: 84 7/8 × 39 11/16 in. (215.6 × 100.8 cm). Date: ca. 1900.
Kobayashi Kiyochika's painting captures the intensity and drama of the quasi-historical incident of Monk Raigo (1002-1084) flying into a rage during a goma-e, or esoteric Buddhist fire ritual. Raigo was furious that Emperor Shirakawa backed out of a promise to allow the monk's temple to conduct ordination ceremonies after the monk had performed magical rituals to ensure the safe birth of a royal heir.
Fudo Myoo (Sanskrit: Acala), the Buddhist protective deity at the center of this fire ritual, here seems to arise from the flames. Usually Fudo Myoo, the "Immovable Wisdom King," is shown with a fearsome visage (as in the statue on display nearby), yet Kiyochika playfully gives the statue an expression of surprised horror at the monk's temper tantrum.
