Faculty of Letters Aesthetics and Science of Arts Associate Professor
Research Overview
My research focuses on the history of ancient and medieval Buddhist sculpture in Japan, particularly the Pure Land Buddhist sculpture of the Heian period. I have a keen interest in the sculptures themselves and the various expressions of painting and craftsmanship that make up the spaces where they have been placed, in addition to the relationship between sculpture and viewer. Informed by my experiences working with museums, I enjoy discussions on how to present exhibitions of sculpture and craft.
