Professor Morse will lead an in-depth,
hands-on workshop in identifying and understanding the techniques
of Japanese Buddhist sculpture from the Kamakura period.
This event coincides with the opening of
the exhibition Return to the Valley: Highlights from the Lee
Institute Permanent Collection. Curated by Dr. Morse, the
first rotation includes the finest Buddhist sculptures and hanging
scroll paintings from the Lee Institute collection, including
several superb pieces from the Kamakura and Nanbokuchô
periods.
This workshop is limited to 10 participants.
Graduate students from Stanford and UC/Berkeley in Japanese art
history and Buddhist studies in particular are encouraged to
take advantage of this special opportunity to participate in
a close-up examination and discussion of the top pieces of Buddhist
art from the Lee Institute Collection.
