木彫閻魔坐像(像高28cm)
地獄の裁判官として信仰される閻魔王を、荒々しい一木彫りで表現した坐像。鋭い眼差し、力強く結ばれた口元、威厳をたたえる姿勢――どこを見ても圧倒的な存在感を放っています。
A powerful folk carving of Enma, the King of Hell and judge of the afterlife.
Roughly hewn from a single block of wood, his fierce gaze, tightly set mouth, and imposing posture radiate authority and presence.
Though much of the original coloring has worn away, the raw surface and traces of age—such as wormholes and cracks—enhance its expressive, timeworn beauty.
This figure speaks of long devotion, fear, and reverence. A compelling embodiment of folk faith and spiritual power.
