Description

Something out of my usual realm, trying to break out of my box and do some different things. A little information on this photo: Vaishravana (Japanese: Bishamonten), Guardian King of the North. Bishamonten is another name for Tamonten (the guardian king of the North)~~~ When Tamonten is worshiped independently as the Buddhist god of victory, wealth, and good fortune, he is called Bishamonten. This Bishamonten is depicted as a warrior stepping on a demon, a symbol of evil. He wears armor and holds a spear in his right hand and a Stupa in his left. Thanks so much for the comments on my last image.
