(著) 梶田敏彦

作品詳細

[About the product]
―A pilgrimage is a journey of the heart. The Nio statues that you meet there reflect the hearts of people.
When I retired from the company and thought about my life from now on, it was a trip to Shikoku pilgrimage. During the pilgrimage, I came to find various emotions other than "anger" in the figure of Aun in the statue of Nio. It was the figure of my parents who had already left this world, and also the figure of myself with children and grandchildren. And now I point my camera at the Nio statue. In order to take a copy of my heart, my life. A collection of gems of photographs that pursue the expression of the heart in realism on a pilgrimage trip to encounter the Nio statues.

[Comment from person in charge]
I don't think there are many opportunities to look closely at the Nio statues standing at the gate of a temple. When I look at the Nio statues in this book again, I feel strangely relieved for some reason even though they are angry. People have different thoughts on Buddhist statues, but what do you feel from Nio statues? Please take a look.
