A specialist book analysing from multiple angles the 52 statues of Cloud-borne Offering Bodhisattvas hung above the nageshi beams of the National Treasure Phoenix Hall. The art historian Mitsuharu Iwasa interprets the world of the Pure Land evoked by this group of statues made by the Jocho workshop (1053) from the perspectives of colouring techniques, formal beauty and Heian Buddhist culture. A scholarly study linking the dynamic expression of the bodhisattvas playing bugaku music with the court nobility's views on life and death.
