I feel that given I have spoken so much already and this image is self explanatory, i will only explain the minimum:
I found these statues outside one of the buildings at the Daisho-in temple in Myajima . A building full of golden Buddhas.... (in the temple's site you can find a youtube video of the interior)
This temple was a discovery for us. I took plenty of photos which I will share in the next post but these warriors deserved their own post.
