Buddhist Treasures from Nara

See all formats and editions

This magnificent volume commemorates a historic exhibition that brought early Buddhist treasures from Japan's ancient capital, mostly from the Nara National Museum, on their first visit to the West.

Here are 87 transcendent masterpieces: archaeological finds, paintings, sculpture, crafts, and calligraphy from the seventh through the fourteenth centuries, works that capture Buddhism's yearning for a state of grace and for communion with the divine.
