Kukai or Kobo-Daishi was a Buddhist Monk who founded the Esoteric Shingon or "mantra" school of Buddhism. He is ensconced in a "throne" like chair inside a zushi or traveling case. Clasped in his left hand is a mala and on his right is a Tibetan dorje. Not known the implications of these objects or if they signifies some connections.
