Limited release of a white sculpture that recreates the “Akishinoji Kagei Tenryu Statue”.

2020.09.11

Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) has begun the limited sale of sculpted redevelopment, which is an accurate reproduction of “Akishinoji Kageten-tenji” which is said to be the only statue of Gigeitenzo in Japan. I will. This work has been completed with unprecedented reproducibility based on highly accurate data created by 3D scanning of the real thing.

An important cultural property, “Kizoku Denkyo Tenryu Statue”, which is owned by Akishinoji Temple in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, is the only statue in Japan that is transmitted.
As a celestial maiden, Kekiten gathers the faith of performing arts, artists and creators because it is said to have the merit of fulfilling various arts and Fukunoku Enman.

This time, with the permission of Akishinoji, the graceful form was faithfully reproduced using high-precision data obtained by 3D scanning the actual Buddha image. In addition, based on the technique cultivated by the wood carving painter Chiaki Takaaki, realistic coloring is applied to recreate the unique texture created only by the images of the eternal time.

You can enjoy the atmosphere as if you were looking at the real thing, and you can also see the back and sides of the statue, which you cannot see in the temple.
