Mitsuo Saiki carves palm-sized Buddhas from stone, which are meant to be caressed by hand as a form of prayer. Sotaro Sato, who has long researched Indian stone Buddhas, now expresses Buddhas through scent. Yuichi Nakajima utilized one of only five special hand-cranked sewing machines in the world to embroider Ogura Yuki’s depiction of Kannon Bosatsu (the Bodhisattva of Compassion). Michiyo Miwa re-created Takasaki’s Byakue Kannon (White-Robed Kannon) as “White Presence,” based on her own interpretation, and also created “Oguri Kannon” for Tōzen-ji Temple in Kurabuchi Town, in memory of Oguri Kozukenosuke. Our Buddhas become objects of prayer when they are caressed by hand.
