Description

[Machine Translation] The sculpture is based on the fierce image of Ashura, one of the eight gods who are the protectors of Buddhism and also the protectors of the Dharma in Buddhism. Takayuki Takeya, one of Japan's leading sculptors, designed and sculpted the figure, creating a powerful, three-sided, six-armed figure with his hands in the palm print. While sharing the same design image as the item previously released as "Revoltech Takeya," the figure is sculpted in a form that conforms to the Takeya style of jizai figurines. In Japan, the most common figure of Ashura is the young man in Kofukuji Temple, but in the ancient Indian mythology from which he was derived, Ashura was the god of war. Since he was a god of war who fought against the god Teishakuten, he is often depicted in the form of an angry deity, giving the impression of an evil god or demon god. The figure is sculpted as a fully articulated action figure. All six arms are independently movable. Compared to the "Revoltech Takeya" version, the muscles of the figure are more powerful, allowing for a powerful pose that is typical of the god of war. The flaming hair, which is often seen on Myoo statues, and the flaming light placed on his back are sculpted with great precision. The three faces, another characteristic of Asura, are represented as follows: on the left, an expression of regret for past deeds; on the front, an expression of mixed feelings of joy and surprise at meeting the Buddha; and on the right, an expression of sadness. The upper half of the body is covered with a long, long hair and a robe, while the lower half is covered with a costume, which is sculpted with a dignified expression and made of a soft material that is split and connected so as not to interfere with various poses. The three pairs of arms are in the same pose as in many statues of Asura, with the palms together to show devotion to the Buddha, the hand facing upward holding up a sun wheel in the left hand and a crystal representing a sun wheel in the right hand, and the remaining pair of arms holding a bow and arrow. By replacing the optional wrist parts, the figure can be posed in a variety of other poses. A dedicated pedestal with a heavy image of the figure is included.
