介绍（中）	这个凶猛的面子男孩形象是由一块日本雪松（杉）雕刻而成的，但它的四肢是分开雕刻的。他的右脚在举起的右拳中挥舞着现已消失的金刚拳，以跳跃的方式抬起。他穿着印度教的dhoti，一条缠绕在腰间和两腿之间的长布，就像披在左肩上的长围巾一样，随着人物充满活力的动作而飘动。他的头发像火焰一样向后扫过，勾勒出脸庞。眉毛凸起，嘴巴张开发出咆哮的有力表情，镶嵌的水晶眼睛令人着迷，包括眉毛中央的三分之一，这些眼睛被涂上红色并触摸，看起来充血。藏王贡源是奈良以南可爱的吉野山脉金布山的保护神。根据1337年的文本《金普山的秘密传统》，他被尊为沙卡念莱、观音菩萨和美禄佛（过去、现在和未来世界的佛陀）的当地化身，他在吉野的住所在现在和将来都被视为净土。
介绍（英）	This boyish figure of ferocious mien is carved of a single block of Japanese cedar (sugi), but for its separately carved limbs. His right foot is raised in a bounding leap as he brandishes a now-missing vajra in his raised right fist. He wears the Hindu dhoti, a long cloth wrapped around the waist and between the legs that, like the long scarf draped over the left shoulder, flutters with the figure's energetic movement. His hair sweeps back in flamelike tufts to frame the face. The powerful expression, with brow bulging and mouth open in a roar, is made riveting by inset crystal eyes, including a third in the center of the brow, that are painted and touched with red to appear bloodshot. Zaō Gongen is the protective spirit of Mount Kimpu in the lovely Yoshino range south of Nara. Because he came to be venerated as a local avatar of Shaka Nyorai, Kannon Bosatsu, and Miroku Buddha—the Buddhas of past, present, and future worlds— according to a text of 1337, Kimpusen Himitsuden (Secret Traditions of Mount Kimpusen), his abode in Yoshino was seen as a Pure Land in the present world as well as in the future.
