【DESCRIPTION】 Title Saints and Hermits-People in Serenity Deep in Nature Publication Year 2003
This book was published as a catalogue of an Exhibition held by Nara National Museum in 1999.
The English foreword says,"The recluse was also a frequent subject for works of art,showing the veneration with which the hermetic lifw was regarded.Every period of Japanese history created masterworks with ascetic motifs,and the life of seclusons became a prominent theme in Japanese art.This special exhibition presents the opportunity to view art dealing with mountain reclusion from various perspectives and to contemplate the connections between the Japanese people and hermits.We hope that this exhibition will allow viwers themselves to experience ,if only vicariously,the life of the mountain recluse."
