"Kanbutsu" refers to embracing the Buddha in one's heart, while "Samadhi" refers to a state of concentration where one calms the mind and focuses on a single object. The "Kanbutsu Samadhi," as described in texts like the "Kanbutsu Samadhi Kai-kyo," can be said to be the act of earnestly observing the Buddha with one's entire being.
In the Aizu Yaichi Collection Exhibition Room, following the "Kanbutsu" held in 2012, we are now presenting a special exhibition titled "Kanbutsu Samadhi II." Aizu Yaichi once advocated for the importance of direct engagement with artworks in the study and education of art history, known as the "jitsugaku-ron" or practical learning theory. Based on this fundamental stance of Aizu Yaichi, this special exhibition showcases Buddhist art created across various periods and regions through our collection.
Trace the journey of Buddhist statues born in India, spreading eastward through China and the Korean Peninsula to Japan, and then further southward to Southeast Asia.
[First Period] May 13, 2024 (Monday) to June 18, 2024 (Tuesday)
[Second Period] June 20, 2024 (Thursday) to August 4, 2024 (Sunday)
