The art of Busshi is one of the most significant cultural legacies of Japan.  Yet at this point, this tradition is virtually unknown to the Western World.   These statues have been an integral part of Japanese culture for 1400 years for a reason.  And it will be my great pleasure and privilege that Carving the Divine will be the first experience of these cultural treasures for many people around the world.
