Buddhist Statues from the Michinoku Region (Tentative)

Tokyo National Museum
13-9 Ueno Park, Taito-ku ,
Tokyo, Japan
Jan 14, 2015 To Apr 05, 2015


Detail: The northeastern area of Japan, called the Michinoku region, is home to many attractive Buddhist statues. Their faces are filled with a powerful yet gentle human kindness, rather than expressions of enlightened, transcendent beings. This exhibition features representative examples of Buddhist sculpture from Japan’s northeastern region, including statues that have never been shown in exhibitions before.
