Since its establishment in 1895, the Narahaku (Nara National Museum) has become highly renowned for its collection of Buddhist art. In commemoration of its 130th anniversary, the museum’s curators and photographer Tomohiro Muda selected 130 masterpieces from its collection, to be presented in this volume. In these photographs, Muda captures the boundless compassion and serenity of sacred figures and fleeting scenes, distilled and frozen in a single moment in time. Through a curated selection of perspectives, the images replicate the experience of seeing the various artworks and decorative objects in person, masterfully evoking the perfection of artistry and craftsmanship.
