Kamakura: Realism and Spirituality in the Sculpture of Japan

February 9 – May 8, 2016
All Day

“Kamakura: Realism and Spirituality in the Sculpture of Japan”—comprising masterpieces from private and museum collections in North America and Europe—marks the first major loan show of Kamakura-period sculpture in the United States in more than thirty years. The show explores how sculptures are “brought to life” or “enlivened” by the spiritual connection between exterior form, interior contents, and devotional practice, reflecting the complexity and pluralism of the period.
