The lotus, which rises from the mud to produce its pure blossoms, which do not touch the water, is known as the “renge,” the flower that symbolizes Buddhism. This exhibition, Floral Beauty in Buddhist Art, presents a glorious collection of flowers depicted in more than thirty Buddhist paintings: the lotus, the ashoka tree and the sal tree, which watched over Śakyamuni throughout his lifetime. Also exhibited are works featuring sacred flower patterns, the imaginary jeweled tree, and the cherry, which blooms in Japan’s sacred places. These piece are joined by about ten Buddhist implements decorated with lotus blossoms, including sutra boxes, pendant ornaments, and flower petal baskets.
