Again, I can’t actually claim to have produced this in direct response to the prompt, but this is a recent piece of my work depicting, for the trigger “sword lore” the Bodhisattva Manjushri, the Soft Voiced Prince, who is the personification of enlightened wisdom and clarity. His blazing sword is not a weapon but the razor of sudden realisation of the nature of reality that slices through delusion and severs suffering at the root. He is also regarded in Mahayana countries as the protector of artists so I already love Him anyway.
