Do you like temple visits? And do you feel attractive to Buddha statues? This workshop is taught by a traditional Japanese Busshi -- the sculptor of Buddhist statues, who inherit the technology and prayers of Buddhist sculpture beyond 1000 years. Busshi are not artists. Only a person who has practiced for many years can become a Busshi. Currently, Busshi in Japan are limited. They produce Buddha statues only when requested by the clients such as individuals or temples. Even though we live in Japan, we rarely meet people in these professions, and it is rare to receive their guidance. You can meet Japanese leading Busshi at this workshop and sculpt Buddha statue with prayer. If you are staying in Japan, please meet the authentic Japanese tradition "Buddha statue sculpture". We look forward to hearing from you.
