Back to Kamakura: Realism and Spirituality in the Sculpture of Japan at Asia Society

About

Statement

Sculpture from the Kamakura period (1185–1333) has long been considered a high point in the history of Japanese art. In their original contexts these powerful icons were brought to life by their naturalistic form, ritual activation, and sacred interior contents.
