Hayagriva (Bato Kannon in Japanese) is a horse-headed Buddhist deity said to have originated on the Silk Road. He is believed to be healer in the realm of animals during the six cycles of reincarnation. In Japan, he is considered a protector of horses and stone statues of him were placed along roadsides during the Edo era. This exhibition features photographs by Naojiro Kurita introducing the diversity of Hayagriva statues in Japan.
