    Description

    Dating to the end of the Muromachi period this truly imposing carving of Enma, the judge of the underworld, has a secret. Hidden within the sculpture is a painted Cristian cross with the word Amen alongside. It was a way for early Christians in Japan to worship Christ without drawing attention to themselves.
