This 3D model of Jikokuten, the guardian deity of the Four Heavenly Kings positioned to the east (front left) of the main deity, is approximately 160mm tall, offering a perfect balance of presence and intricate detail when held in the hand.
The figure beautifully captures the atmosphere of the actual Jikokuten statue, from the tightly closed mouth and piercing gaze to the armor and robes modeled after those worn by Chinese Tang Dynasty generals, and the static yet powerful presence that conveys a hidden strength.
Detailed elements such as the three-pronged spear in his left hand, the roughly shaped base, and the flowing sashes are also meticulously crafted.
The model also faithfully reproduces the intricate details of the armor's surface, a highlight of Jikokuten's statue, including the subtle contours and textures of different materials like cloth, leather, and skin, achieved through sculpting.
To prevent the details and distinctive curves from being lost due to injection molding, the model features skillful part division, prioritizing the beauty of the finished product.
In particular, even the smallest details, such as the ears and shoulder pads of the armor, are sculpted with high precision, expressing a beautiful form down to the smallest detail.
Furthermore, by minimizing the number of parts, it is possible to assemble the statue of Jikokuten, which is formed by the combination of complex curved surfaces, with a simple assembly process.
