つじもとひでおぼくは日本の歴史の中では中世が一番好き。中央集権が破綻して、地方や様々な職種の人々が活躍する日本史上最も多様性に富む時代です。京都の町にも魑魅魍魎や盗賊が百鬼夜行し、天皇の御所も荒れ果てた時代。そして中世から戦国にかけて、最も精神性の高い仏教が生まれました。空也展、開催中ですね。空也は古代末の人ですけれど、中世の仏教を準備した偉大な聖者です。口から出る像は、「南無阿弥陀仏」をシンボルかしたものだそうですね。すごい発想！
I like medieval times best in Japanese history. The centralization of Yamato government ended and local power and various kinds of people played active parts. Emperors palace was neglected and thieves and monsters walked around Kyoto every night. It is a dynamic and diverse era in Japanese history. It is also the time when the most spiritual buddhism denominations were born as Jodo sect. This is a statue of Kuya, a buddhist monk who prepared the foundation of Kamakura buddhism in the late ancient era in Japan. 6 buddha statues represents 6 words of “Na mu A mi da bu tsu”. it is believed that if you say these 5 words, you can go to heaven in Kamakura buddhism.
