“Among the various Buddhist sects that developed in various regions after the Kamakura period, Zen Buddhism had a deep connection with Yamanashi, as seen in the visit of the Zen monk Rankei Doryu to Yamanashi, and the achievements of Muso Soseki and his disciples, who were highly valued by the Muromachi shogunate.
This exhibition will introduce the rich Zen culture that developed in Yamanashi through artworks such as paintings and sculptures, as well as the influence of Zen monks.” Cited from: https://www.porta-y.jp/en/event/188180
