Ryutoki is one of the four jaki, the miniature demons who support statues of the Shitenno (Four Kings). Often just two are represented: Ryutoki with the lantern on his head and Tentoki who holds a lantern aloft in one hand. Legend recounts that the pair were evil mischief-makers, but the trampling feet of the gods crushed out the bad spirits and caused them to repent. The lanterns offer light for the road ahead of the Buddha and testify that the Four Kings are capable of banishing evil. A renowned pair of sculptures representing the pair is at the Kofukuji in Nara, the Ryutoki was carved in 1215 by Koben, one of the four sons of the great Kamakura sculptor, Unkei.
