The monk Kukai founded a Shingon esoteric Buddhist monastic training center on Mt. Koya in 816. Over 1200 years, Mt. Koya has remained sacred ground for Buddhism in Japan while one of the most remarkable collections of treasures of Buddhist art has been assembled atop the mountain. This exhibition offers an opportunity to see rare works from that mountaintop, including implements for rituals and script associated with Kukai , Buddhist paintings based on the doctrines of Shingon esoteric Buddhism, and Keiha school Buddhist sculptures, including the Standing Statues of Eight Attendants of Fudo Myoo. This exhibition is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to experience the essence of this aspect of Japanese culture, nurtured spirit of Kukai and over the centuries at Mt. Koya.
