Seated statue of Kujaku Myōō at Shoryaku-ji, #Japan, #Kamakura period. Peacocks have a handsome appearance, but it is said that they like to eat poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. However, peacocks are not affected by the poison. From this, Kujaku Myōō is said to have the merit of removing suffering, misfortune, and worldly desires that are poisonous to humans.
