"Japan, Heian period, 12th century"
"Daiitoku myoo is one of the Five Wisdom Kings. They are worshipped in Esoteric Buddhism as manifestations of the wrath of Dainichi, the sumpreme deity, when he is confronted with ignorance and delusion."

The key words here are "confronted with ignorance and delusion."
