Meaning & History

In Japanese culture, Aizen is associated with the goddess of love and beauty, Benzaiten, who is often portrayed holding a biwa, a traditional Japanese lute. In Buddhist tradition, Aizen is one of the Five Wisdom Kings, a group of deities who represent different aspects of enlightenment. Aizen is specifically associated with desire, passion, and love, and is often depicted with a sword or a rope to symbolize his power over these emotions.
