To the world of beautiful character Buddha where Sanskrit itself is alive. [Simultaneous holding] Ayaki Takizawa Solo Exhibition ~Beauty and Prayer~
From May 19, 2023 (Friday), at the Ueno Royal Museum, we will hold a "Sanskrit Buddhist Art Exhibition" by Tokuyama Tokuyama, a master of Sanskrit characters.
Since its opening at the Ueno Royal Museum in 1983, this exhibition has been an opportunity to introduce Tokuyama Tokuyama's works as a whole. We will develop a new world of Sanskrit art, such as a large joint work that spans about 3 meters. During the period, painter Ayaki Takizawa's solo exhibition will also be held at the same time.
Sanskrit is based on "siddha," which represents Sanskrit, an ancient Indian literary language.
It was introduced to Japan along with Buddhism, and is also called Shittanmoji, and was used to write Buddhist scriptures.
After that, along with the development of esoteric Buddhism learned by Kobo Daishi Kukai and others, the characters themselves were considered to represent Buddha, and in Japan, they have been carefully handed down in shrines and temples since ancient times as the ultimate talisman to protect the family and the nation. increase.
In May 2023, along with the prayers of the imperial family and the great virtues of the past, we will hold an exhibition of prayers that will continue for a thousand years, praying for the peace and security of families and nations around the world through Sanskrit works by modern Sanskrit master Tokuyama Tokuyama. I was lucky to hold it.
We hope that the encounter with the Sanskrit characters that represent the Buddha will be a time to meet the Buddha in your heart and think about the world of 1,000 years of prayer.
We are looking forward to your visit.
