Gandharan Buddhist Sculpture and the Idea of Heavenly Birth

This scholarly work from Chuokoron-Bijutsu Shuppan delves into the fascinating world of Gandharan Buddhist sculpture, exploring its artistic expressions alongside the intricate concept of 'heavenly birth' (生天思想). It offers a deep analysis of how this significant Buddhist idea influenced the iconography and development of statuary in the ancient Gandhara region, a crossroads of cultures. While the author is listed as unknown, the publisher is renowned for its high-quality art and academic publications. Note: The text is entirely in Japanese. Brand New Japanese Edition.
