Kongo means Thunderbolt, and Rikishi means Might One. This large Kongo Rikishi Temple Guardian mask is radiating with power of the protective deity. The mask is hand carved from quality Japanese cypress, with distinctive wavy wood grains billowing from center outward, creating a visual perception of advancing force, capable of staring down and subduing demons and enemies of the Dharma. The carving is lively, dynamic and thoroughly spirited. The large size made it an impressive wall-hanging for doorway or centerpiece in the main room.
