Koyasan 1,200th Anniversary: Treasures of the Sacred Mountain
高野山開創1200年記念 高野山の名宝
The monk Kukai founded a Shingon esoteric Buddhist monastic training center on Mt. Koya in 816. This exhibition offers an opportunity to see rare works from that mountaintop, including implements for rituals and script associated with Kukai, Buddhist paintings based on the doctrines of Shingon esoteric Buddhism, and Keiha school Buddhist sculptures, including the Standing Statues of Eight Attendants of Fudo Myoo. This exhibition is an unmissable opportunity to experience the essence of this aspect of Japanese culture, nurtured in the spirit of Kukai over the centuries at Mt. Koya.
平成27年に開創1200年を迎える高野山。開創にかかわる空海ゆかりの宝物から、密教美術の原点ともいえる請来の品、真言密教の教理に基づく仏像、仏画など、重厚な信仰の歴史を物語るこれらを一堂に展示。特に、仏教彫刻界に新風を吹き込んだ仏師・運慶による国宝「八大童子像」を全軀そろって鑑賞できる貴重な機会となっている。空海の精神と壮大な歴史に育まれた日本文化の精髄をご堪能ください。
