Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847–1915) was a prominent Japanese artist known for his innovative approach to ukiyo-e woodblock prints during the Meiji period. Among his diverse body of work, "Fudo Myoo" stands out as a significant piece that reflects both his artistic prowess and the cultural context of his time. Fudo Myoo, also known as Acala, is a wrathful deity in Japanese Buddhism, often depicted with a fierce expression, holding a sword and a rope, symbolizing the cutting through of ignorance and the binding of evil forces.

Kiyochika's rendition of Fudo Myoo is notable for its dynamic composition and the use of light and shadow, which were influenced by Western techniques that he studied during the Meiji era's modernization. This period saw Japan opening up to Western influences, and Kiyochika was among the artists who integrated these new elements into traditional Japanese art forms. His work often features dramatic contrasts and a sense of movement, which can be seen in the depiction of Fudo Myoo's intense gaze and the flowing lines of his garments.

The print captures the deity's formidable presence, embodying the protective and purifying aspects that Fudo Myoo represents in Buddhist iconography. Kiyochika's attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion through his prints make this work a compelling example of Meiji-era art. The piece not only reflects the religious and cultural significance of Fudo Myoo but also showcases Kiyochika's skill in blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary influences.

Kiyochika's "Fudo Myoo" is a testament to his innovative spirit and his contribution to the evolution of Japanese woodblock printing. It remains an important work for understanding the intersection of art, religion, and cultural transformation during a pivotal time in Japan's history.
