Ususama Myoo

Ususama Myoo (Ucchushma) is a wrathful deity in Japanese Esoteric Buddhism, one of the Myoo, or Wisdom Kings, who embody the transformative power of enlightened beings to overcome defilement. Traditionally enshrined near temple latrines and washing areas, this figure is associated with the purification of impurity, both physical and spiritual, and is invoked in rituals concerning cleanliness. Some devotional traditions have linked Ususama Myoo to health and hygiene through this symbolic role in transforming filth into purity, though such associations reflect ritual practice and belief rather than verified outcomes.”}}```(oops)
