This exhibition brings together Buddhist paintings produced in East Asia during the Song, Yuan, and Goryeo dynasties, as well as Kamakura in Japan, during the same period. How did the medieval Kamakura region, which had the closest access to Buddhist culture from across the sea, accept, nurture, and incorporate it into Zen teachings? This exhibition explores the production backgrounds and symphonies surrounding paintings from these three regions.

树懒的旅途

As an ancient capital, Kamakura&#39;s collection is still worth seeing.

Kamakurakōkō-Mae Station

MMR. Maruf

Kamakurakōkō-Mae Station is a charming seaside stop on the Enoshima Electric Railway, famous for its breathtaking ocean views. The moment you step off the train, the sound of waves and fresh sea breeze create a calming atmosphere. It&rsquo;s especially popular with fans of the anime Slam Dunk, as the nearby railway crossing is an iconic scene. The station itself is small and simple, but its surroundings make it unforgettable. Perfect for photography, a peaceful walk, or just soaking in coastal scenery, this station offers a unique blend of nostalgia and natural beauty that makes every visit worthwhile.

Kotoku-in

Historic buildings

M23***52

Kamakura is home to dozens of temples, making it a Buddhist capital. The most famous of these is Kotoku-in Temple, home to the renowned Great Buddha of Kamakura. Get off at Hase Station and walk about ten minutes to reach Kotoku-in Temple.

Entrance fee: 200 yen. Upon entering, you&#39;ll be greeted by the Great Buddha of Kamakura. A National Treasure of Japan, it&#39;s a major tourist attraction in Kamakura, attracting a constant stream of visitors year-round.

Including its pedestal, the statue stands 13.35 meters tall. Made of bronze, it&#39;s centuries old. Circling the statue, you&#39;ll find a small door that allows you to enter and observe its inner workings.

The Great Buddha of Kamakura was originally housed in the Great Buddha Hall, but it became an open-air statue after the hall collapsed due to typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Furthermore, when it was first built, it was covered in gold leaf, though only a small amount remains today.

走遍天下XZ

The back view of Sakuragi Hanamichi after school was taken towards the sea, so countless &quot;Slam Dunk fans&quot; come to Kamakura Seaside Boulevard, and their eyes are only on the coastline scenery. In fact, if you can slow down and look back at the other side of the seaside boulevard, it is also very beautiful.
Especially the small wooden buildings with unique shapes and colorful colors are exactly the same as in the anime.

Komachi St

When you come to Kamakura, Komachi Street is a must-visit food street. There are indeed some things you can&#39;t eat in other places, such as &quot;Buddha head&quot; and so on.
Some introductions will list it as a commercial street and compare it with Tokyo Ginza and Osaka Shinsaibashi. In fact, these three places are completely different concepts and there are still big differences.
Komachi Street is very narrow, but it is relatively long. If you don&#39;t eat, it&#39;s quite monotonous to walk around. Machi means place, and Tong means connecting several lively places.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu

ㅣreccoㅣ

It is one of the three major Hachimangu shrines in Japan.
It has a history of more than 800 years.

It is the most famous Buddhist holy place in Kamakura.
It is worth making a pilgrimage to experience the value of faith.
