Closed fist of a larger-than-life carved wooden temple guardian ( #Dharmapala #Kongorikishi, #Nio), the one with the open mouth (Skt Guhyapada, Jp #Agyo, Ch #HaJiang) in the #niomon (gate) at #Seigantou-ji ( #Saigoku #Pilgrimage #Temple 1) at #Nachikatsuura, #Wakayama, #Japan

Jōjakkō-ji's oldest structure actually belonged originally to another temple.
Built in the 14thC, the thatched Niō-mon (仁王門) guarded the south entrance to Honkoku-ji (本圀寺), one of Kyōto's most important Nichiren centres, but in 1616 Nisshin moved it to his new temple.
