Okura Shukokan Special Exhibition "God and Buddha Supporting People - The World of Doshaku Figure Paintings"
There are gods and Buddhas that appear in New Year's and Dragon Boat festivals, such as the Seven Lucky Gods and Zhong Kui. It was not located deep in temples and shrines, but existed while blending into people's lives. Although it is becoming less common in modern times, from the Edo period to the beginning of the Showa era, it has been expressed in hanging scrolls, festival dolls, tile dolls, etc., and has responded to people's wishes. In this exhibition, along with folk gods such as the Seven Lucky Gods and Zhong Kui, we will take up "Taoist Buddha paintings" depicting Taoist and Buddhist gods, Buddhas, Buddhas, and figures, such as Buddhist Buddhas, such as Puxian Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva, the familiar cloth bag enshrined in Zen Buddhism, and the Arhat with a bizarre appearance that exudes an exotic atmosphere.
