She wears an elaborate robe, hemmed in blue and white, with demons and monsters running along the bottom. Other images on the robe include a seated woman strumming a <em>koto</em>, and a bull-faced demon holding a cauldron above flames with his feet. Enlightened beings float on clouds on the sleeves.
