Photographer’s Note
This is one of 1500 unique rakan statues on the nihon-ji temple grounds in Chiba. A rakan (or arhat in Sanskrit) is an enlightened disciple of Buddhism, one who has reached the final stage and passed the death-rebirth cycle of reincarnation.
This guy is breaking apart. Perhaps from a broken heart.
