A large collection of Buddhist paintings from all over Asia “Various Aspects of Buddha” / Otani University Museum
Tuesday, June 7, 2022 - Saturday, July 30, 2022
10:00-17:00 (last admission 16:30)
Otani University Museum
[An exhibition of Buddhist art from around Asia, including Buddhist paintings, is being held at the Otani University Museum until July 30, 2022.
Starting with the Shakyamuni Buddha and Bodhisattvas, "Buddhas" have long been represented in paintings, wooden and stone statues, and other forms. As the teachings spread throughout the world, each expression developed its own individuality, influenced by the local climate.
This exhibition introduces various images of Buddha in India and East Asia through thangkas, which are representative of Tibetan Buddhist paintings, copies of Indian and Chinese Buddhist paintings, and Buddhist paintings from Japan. By viewing the works with an awareness of cultural differences, visitors will find that even the same Buddha image can have a completely different flavor depending on the region.
