Front cover slightly peeling/glue cracking from textblock; textlbock firm. Pristine interior.. Color-illustrated brown wraps. Black title on spine. BW photos, figures, and color plates copious throughout book. English text with a good amount of Japanese vocabulary throughout. From an exhibition held at Japan Society May-July 1997. The exhibition contains 32 individual and group sculptures, all masterpieces of which many could be seen only in Japan. The statues range from peaceful, reflective and self-contained Buddhas ("ones who have awakened to the truth") to fanged and ferocious protective deities, assuming aggressive postures, their muscles and eyeballs bulging as they strive to cut through ignorance and defend Buddhist Law.
