Description: Fukūken-saku Kannon, golden hollow lake, H 3.64 m, and two devas, raw clay. Late 8th century Hokke-dō, Todai-ji. The Bodhisattva Fukuken-saku (or -jaku), a form of Avalokiteśvara venerated since the 6th century in Japan, corresponds to the Indian Amoghapasha Lokeshvara. Described in a text of 709, it comes in various forms, the most common to four arms. With his characteristic attribute, the noose, he implements his vow to save all beings. By his side, Bon-ten (Brahman) and Taishaku-ten (the emperor of heaven), two of the twelve devas.
