This array of Emma-O, king of hell, and his accompanying judges, is located at Byodoji, Temple #22 of Shikoku's famous 88 Temple Pilgrimage. You can read more about my visit to Byodoji in my Logbook.
It's interesting to see Jizo Bosatsu (the Chinese Dizang Pusa [Ti Tsang Wang]) standing next to Emma (Sanskrit Yama) pleading the cases of the accused. And seated on Emma-O's other side: is that Bodhidharma, one shoe in hand?

Bodhidharma? Binzuru?
