Rambha The Little Demon By Tokyo Jesus

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Tokyo Jesus as he’s been working on a sculpture that’s finished and now heading to Copro Gallery for the Conjoined 7 show. Tokyo Jesus doing what he does best making our jaws drop as he mixes this trademark style of Neo Japanese horror. Titled Rambha  (Little Demon) which is inspired Rhamba which is actually Hindu mythology.

Rambha (Little Demon) is all made from resin, magic sculpt, wood, acrylic fibre! We can’t get enough of Tokyo Jesus and one day we hope to see a Tokyo Jesus piece in person. The use of mix mediums adds so much depth and creepiness, one perfect example is the HAIR.

Rambha in Hindu mythology is the Queen of the Apsarases, the magical and beautiful female beings in Devaloka.

She is unrivalled in her accomplishments in the arts of dancing, music and beauty. She is often asked by the king of the Devas, Indra to break the tapasya of sages so that the purity of their penance is tested against temptation, and also that the order of the three worlds remains undisturbed by any one man’s mystical powers. When she tries to disturb the penance of Rishi Vishwamitra (who is doing it to become a Brahmarishi), she is cursed by him to become a rock for 10,000 years till a Brahmin delivers her from the curse.

In the epic Ramayana, Rambha is violated by Ravana, king of Lanka, who is thereby cursed by Brahma that if he violates another woman again, his head will burst. This curse protects the chastity of Sita, the wife of Rama when she is kidnapped by Ravana. Rambha is the wife of Nalakuvara, the son of Kubera. By some accounts it is he who cursed Ravana – wikipedia
