Maya Nukumizu

This book shows the eccentric giant Gods and Buddhas scattered all over Japan from the photographic collection ‘Daishinbutsu’ (Tokyo Kirara-sha), published in 2023. These mysterious giant Gods and Buddha statues, built not only as temples and shrines but also as public objects, tourist attractions or for personal worship, embody people’s passionate religious beliefs and create other worlds that are separated from the living world. The exhibition invites you to enter the universe of the Great Divine Gods and Buddhas, a place of overwhelming power and mystery as seen from Kobayashi’s point of view.
