With over thirty masterpieces from the Kamkura period (1185\u20131333) from private and museum collections in North America and Europe, \u201cKamakura: Realism and Spirituality in the Sculpture of Japan\u201d is the first exhibition to look beyond the aesthetics and technical achievements of these remarkable sculptures, and specifically examine the relationship between realism and the sacred empowerment of these objects. The exhibition explores how sculptures are \u201cbrought to life\u201d or \u201cenlivened\u201d by the spiritual connection between exterior form, interior contents, and devotional practice, reflecting the complexity and pluralism of the period. “Kamakura: Realism and Spirituality in the Sculpture of Japan” marks the first major loan show of Kamakura sculpture in the United States in more than thirty years.<\/p>\n
