The Center for Buddhist Studies, College of Humanities, University of Arizona is pleased to announce new additions to the groundbreaking online exhibition True Image: Celebrating the Legacy of Yinyuan Longi (Ingen Ryūki) and the Art of Ōbaku. Thirty new works have been added, nearly doubling the size of the exhibition, which celebrates the arts of the Ōbaku school of Zen on the occasion of the 350th death anniversary of its founder Yinyuan (Jp. Ingen). These additions come primarily from two private collections outside of Japan, and supplement works already in the exhibition from major museum collections in the West. True Image is the largest assemblage of Ōbaku works presented by an institution in the West.
Please visit the exhibition website, where you will find a new introductory text for the exhibition as a whole, and for the five thematic rooms. As well, for a number of individual works we have added explanatory captions. Finally, we are pleased to announce that True Image has been extended for an additional year, through May 2024.
