祈りInori/Spiritual Journey – Sengu: Yukihito Masuura

5 Mar-16 Apr 2015

The Daiwa Anglo-japanese Foundation
London NW1 4QP

Overview

This exhibition introduces some of Yukihito Masuura's works in his eight-year quest to capture Michelangelo's sculptural oeuvre and the bronze works of Rodin and Bourdelle. Masuura has also documented the ceremonial practices of Sengu in Japan, such as the restoration of Japan's most revered Shinto locations: Ise Jingu and Izumo Taisha. The Christian and Shinto images exhibited here explore the relationship between religion and art, and juxtapose the quintessential cultures of the West and Japan.
