Tokyo
Art
The Gohyaku Rakanji statue at Gohyaku Rakanji Temple (Meguro-ku, Tokyo) was sculpted by Shoun Genkei, a Buddhist priest from the Edo period, and miraculously escaped repeated natural and man-made disasters. It still exists and is the object of people’s worship. It has high historical and cultural value and is designated as an important cultural property of Tokyo.
Michiko Chiyoda was impressed by the splendor of the statue of Rakan and the activities of the restorer Takeshi Nagai, who is working to restore this precious statue to future generations.
She will publish her photo book “Inheritance of the 500 Rakan Restoration Prayer” from Ribonsha on December 20, 2021.
The photo book contains photographs of the sculptural beauty of the eight restored Rakan statues and each process of the Rakan statue restoration work, which had not been published so far.
In addition, a commentary on the Rakan statue by Kenshin Hori, a deacon and curator of Gohyaku Rakanji Temple on Mt. However, it is a photo book that is spectacular and readable.
The photobook will be sold at Ribonsha, etc., and from December 1st to December 30th, CAMPFIRE’s crowdfunding will be used to set attractive returns and sell it.
From the photobook contribution
Rakan statues have been protected by many people over the natural disasters and wars for more than 300 years since the first statue. We have a mission to pass on this irreplaceable and wonderful cultural heritage to the next generation.

Ms. Michiko Chiyoda’s work will give us an opportunity to think about the restoration and preservation of cultural properties. And it tells us that the process and time will be “prayer”.
