In the last few years, exhibitions featuring Japanese art have become very popular. A popular exhibition is talked about every year in a variety of genres such as paintings, sculptures, books and crafts, but it is the exhibition of the sword held in the autumn of 2018 that especially surprised the discerning art fan It is a meeting "Kyo no Kata Exhibition" . Although there was a strong tie-up effect with the popular game "Touken Ranbu", it is probably not the first time that a row of snakes has been made so long in the exhibition of swords, regardless of whether it is a weekday or a holiday Is not it? In 2018, "Swords" led the rise of Japanese art.
Of course, the exhibition of Japanese art is very strong again this year. So what genre do you want to focus on in the spring of 2019?
Ukiyoe, pottery, tea utensils, books, Edo painting ... There are many good quality exhibitions planned this year, but it is a hot "Buddhist art exhibition" that is hot in the spring of 2019. Last autumn, there was a feeling that a good exhibition had been set up in the metropolitan area, but in the spring of 2019, there were a lot of strong exhibitions across the country. Isn't it the highest level ever in both quantity and quality?
In this article, we will introduce seven "Buddhist art exhibitions" that you can not miss if you are a Buddha image fan from among the art exhibitions held all over the country in the spring of 2019.
Recommended Buddhist Art Exhibition 1 The beauty of Kamakura Yurin "The Treasure of Enkakuji" (Mitsui Memorial Museum of Art)
Over the last couple of years, a large-scale exhibition focused on Buddhist art exhibitions that featured Kyoto and Nara's leading temples, but don't forget “Kamakura” where historical Zen temples line up! Therefore, last year, 200 years after the death of Seshi Setsucho , who is a high priest in the temple , and the 100th anniversary of the shakusoen death, Buddhism featured a special feature of Engakuji at the Mitsui Memorial Museum of Art The art exhibition "Engrave Temple Encyclopedia" has started.
At the exhibition, about 110 points are exhibited , such as the statues and drawings drawn by Buddhist monks related to Enkakuji, paintings, lacquer works and pottery, beginning with Buddha statues and general sculptures. I'm very distracted by the excellent items, but what I particularly recommend in the editorial department is "Buddha statue" quite well!
Usually, it is very rare in a statue that does not wear a costume other than a costume (noue), and a series of "crow crown pilgrimage" wearing an accessory, wearing a crown, and a rare sitting figure standing on one knee Attention should be paid to the type of Buddha image that you can not often see in Kyoto and Nara, such as the so-called “Takimi Kannon” known as Seiunji Temple.

In addition, what was very excellent was a Buddha painting "Chinzo" (Chinzou) depicting a high monk related to Enkakuji and a " Verbal Sculpture" (Chinzocho Kokoku) carved like figures . In particular, the eyeballs are placed in the eyes of the topological sculptures, and the realistic physical expressions are as if they were living. In particular, it is a masterpiece that the top sculptures of the Kamakura period star warriors from China, the visiting monk, Rangkei Doryu, and the majestic majestic origin, are displayed side by side. This may be a sequence that can not be seen again!

In addition, with the recent Yurukawa drawing boom, the name has spread to the art fan, and "Hakuin Kozuru" (Haikuinaku) "Sengi Yoshi Bon" (Sengai Gion) lives in the same period with two people Also worthy of note is the paintings left by Taisei Shuu. Currently, these two people are not so famous yet, but in Kyoto there is also a relationship with Matsudaira Fudai and Maruyama Kenkyu, and it was a leading cultural person of the time who was also active as a poet . It is a must-see for the sketchy sketch style and beautiful ink marks!

In addition, it is housed in the "Kaizan Pass" where items from the former period (some Japanese-made products) are collected, which are reported in the 1st room and are said to be for the ancestors of Kaizan and Zu It is an exhibition full of attractions, such as the uninvolved father-in-law, the fan, the hoshi, the incense and the tray!
Celadon incense furnace Enkakujikura / Celadon in vivid colors with a refreshing sensation. It is understood that it is a sacred treasure that has been handed over and has been carefully preserved.

Recommended Buddhist Art Exhibition 6 Planning Exhibition "Innendo Doji Temple" (Ryukokuya Museum)
How many people have heard of the name of the temple called "The Forbidden Temple" located near downtown area Shijo-Karasuma in Kyoto city? "Byodo-in" ... not. It is "the temple of goodbye." However, it may not be valid even if you say "to Toji-ji Temple" by taxi from Kyoto Station. Instead, it is much more famous for the popular name “Inhindo” or “Inhatsu Yakushi”, which is also a place name.
In fact, I can give a step back to the other major major temples in terms of popularity, but now I have a Yakushi Nyorai statue called "Japan San Nyorai" along with Zenkoji Amida Sanson image and Kiyoji Shakurin image statue It is a venerable tomb with a history of more than 1000 years, such as a picture scroll called "Inhindo Enuki", which is a memorial to the temple, which has been enshrined as a temple.
In this exhibition, we will feature on "The Temple of Goodness" (Inhindo) with full force. Taking advantage of the timing of the interior restoration work at the temple in Giji Temple, there are a number of temple treasures including the main temple and Yakushi Buddha statues of the temple, and 20 figures of Buddha statues related to the temple such as the picture scroll "Inhindo Yuuki " It is a very powerful exhibition where you can see all 64 temple treasures and historical materials, including 5 goods .

I draw the legend that the Buddha statue pulled up at this time became the main shrine of Inuido. It seems to be a Kamakura period picture scroll and healed by the comical look of each character ...
Next, let's look at the Buddha statue. All Buddha statues of the Inabaido, such as the main statue, Yakushi Nyorai statue, the handsome Amitabha statue created by Keio Buddhist priests in the Kamakura period, and the Daikokuten in the Muromachi period, are usually seen under the comfortable exhibition space of the Ryukoku Museum.

What did you think? This time, we have featured the major Buddhist art exhibitions held in the spring of 2019 throughout the country. In every exhibition, a large number of rare beauty Buddhas, national treasures and important cultural properties are exhibited, and the attractions are full.
So why not dig into the history and Buddhist thought of the temple holding the statues and works of art? For example, if it is a special exhibition "To-ji Temple", it is good to examine the history of Kukai Biography and To-ji Temple in detail, or to explore about "Kara-da". Alternatively, it may be a good idea to go out to Toji Temple after a sightseeing trip.
Every exhibition has good information available through official pictorial records and audio guides. Please try to taste this spring's Buddhist art exhibition as much as you like.
