Within Buddhism, all the gods of the Kāmadhātu are subject to passions but the Asuras have become addicted to them, especially the more negative feelings like wrath, pride, envy, insincerity, falseness, boasting, and bellicosity. And for a Buddhist to be reborn as one of these "demigod" or "antigod" creatures is considered to be one of the four unhappy births. Typically described as having three heads with three faces each and either four or six arms, artist Youhei Kaneko of
Mirock Toy has interpreted it as a six-armed humanoid with three faces encircling its one head. Standing roughly 11⅖-inches (290mm) tall, this
Tomenosuke exclusive soft vinyl figure is named "Ashuran", hand-painted by the artist himself in a variety of colorful hues. Limited to an edition of 15 pieces, each with a hand-drawn header card, these will surely disappear quickly when made available on March 16th, 2018 at 7pm Pacific time in
Tomenosuke's International online store for ¥21,600 (approx. $203) each.
