Enku
Devoting his entire life to a journey of asceticism and carving Buddhas with prayers for the people, Enku is known to have made a vow to carve 120,000 deities over his lifetime. He wielded his chisel like the sword of a flying god, continuously carving deities. Although his life remains shrouded in mystery, the evidence of his existence endures. Statues such as the gentle, smiling Kannon and the powerful wrathful deity, exceeding 5,000 in number, continue to be cherished by people. This exhibition traces the footsteps of his creativity through representative works from his early years to late in life.
