Mikaeri Fudo 見返り不動 Fudo looking back

- quote
県指定　木造不動明王立像（みかえり不動）　
Kamakura Period



神照寺
剣を肩に担いで、右足を前に出し、まさに走り出そうとする姿勢である。
目は玉眼入、鐶釧は金銅造、衣紋に截金模様が残っている。鎌倉末期。
当寺では見返り（みかえり）不動といい、
浅井長政の持仏であったと伝えられている。
像高47.4センチの小像ではあるが、この姿態の不動明王の木彫としては珍しいもので、絵画では東京に「走り不動」といって重文指定のものがある。

This was the personal statue of the samurai Asai Nagamasa 浅井長政 (1545 - 1573).
It is about 47 cm high.
This Fudo has the sword on his shoulder and is putting his right foot in front, so as to start running any time, when someone needs his help.

There is a painting in Tokyo, where it pose is called
hashiri Fudo 走り不動 "running Fudo"

Asai Nagamasa (浅井 長政, 1545 – August 28, 1573)
was a daimyo during the Sengoku period of Japan. His clan, the Asai, were located in northern Ōmi Province, east of Lake Biwa. He was both the brother-in-law of Oda Nobunaga, starting in 1564, and one of Nobunaga's enemies from 1570-1573. Nagamasa and his clan were destroyed by Oda Nobunaga in August 1573.
Major battles of Asai Nagamasa include the battle of Anegawa in 1570 and the many sieges of Odani castle between 1570 and 1573.
