En no Gyōja with Zenki and Kōki (Kōki)
This is one of a trio of figures identified as Enno Gyoja and his two attendants, Zenki and Koki. The set follows the iconography of <em>Shugendo</em>, the traditional mountain ascetic practice in Japan. Enno Gyoja is depicted as a hermit-monk, seated on a rock attached to a modern base. He holds a staff in his right hand and a sutra in the left. The two attendants take the form of half-human, half-demonic figures and are regarded as a married couple.
