Fudomyo-O
From BMEzine Encyclopedia
From Buddhism. Literally 'Immovable King of Light,' Fudomyo-O is the Japanese rendition of the Buddhist deity Acalanatha, the wrathful aspect of the Buddha.
A very popular tattoo design, Fudomyo-O is usually pictured with a lasso in one hand, to bind the faithful, and a sword in the other, to cut through ignorance, on a backdrop of fire which purges all wickedness. A tattoo of Fudomyo-O protects its wearer from evil and natural disasters such as fires.
