Takehiko Yamashiro (1908–1997) is an important figure in the study of modern and contemporary art history in Japan. He was the director of the art department of the Nara National Museum and a professor at Ryukoku University. He is also known for his profound research on Chinese art. This exhibition systematically reviews his academic career and private collection from the two dimensions of "collection" and "research", showing his love and unique vision for East Asian art.
The exhibits include Chinese calligraphy and painting, ceramics, and ancient Japanese art, all of which are important objects that Yamashiro has collected or studied for many years, and some of the works are open to the public for the first time. The exhibition will also present precious documents such as his academic manuscripts, investigation notes, and lecture manuscripts, exploring the paths of "how to watch" and "how to study" from the perspective of scholars.
In the Nara area, which is densely populated with cultural heritage such as Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, and Toshodaiji Temple, Yamato Bunkakan has always played the role of a cultural bridge. This exhibition is a beautiful practice that connects academic research and visual aesthetics, and it is worth savoring for audiences who love Chinese art and Japanese cultural history.

You can take a bus from Nara Station, but there will be a lot of traffic after the city hall. It is recommended to get off at the city hall and walk through the pedestrian tunnel, which is only a few hundred meters away. The park is very large, and there are many deer along the way. Going up is Kasuga Taisha Shrine, and going west will lead to Wakakusa Mountain, both of which are paid attractions. The journey takes about 20 minutes.

Going to Nara, if you don&#39;t go to Dongdaeji, it&#39;s a pity. Because you will miss the hall of the world&#39;s largest wooden structure, you will also miss the great opportunity to feel the charm of Tang Feng, and it is even more difficult to experience the joy of Liang Sicheng and other Chinese architectural masters who found Wutaishan Foguang Temple!

It is listed as one of the two major temples for the dissemination and research of Vinaya along with the Kaidan-in of Todaiji Temple. The banner on the gate of the temple, &quot;Tōshōdaiji&quot;, was written by the Japanese Empress Koken in the style of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. There are lecture halls and ordination platforms from the Tenpyō era, golden halls from the Nara era, and drum towers from the Kamakura era in the temple. The golden hall, sutra collection, drum tower, and statue of Jianzhen are known as national treasures. Jianzhen also brought the high level of civilization of the Tang Dynasty in China, and promoted the improvement of the level of Buddhism, medicine, architecture, and sculpture in Japan. In 1980 and 2010, the statue of Jianzhen returned to Yangzhou twice to &quot;visit relatives&quot;. In 1998, Toshōdaiji was listed as a World Cultural Heritage as an important part of the &quot;Cultural Heritage of the Ancient Capital of Nara&quot;.
