1 Enku, Sculptor of 100,000 Buddhas and Living Artisans in Japan April 7-21, 2016 Dear Friends, Thank you for your interest in our pilgrimage to Japan. The itinerary is now finalized. We depart from North America or Europe on April 6th (arriving in Kyoto on April 7th) and finish our journey on April 21st. This pilgrimage is a very special one; we visit places affiliated with Enku and meet scholars and abbots to hear their stories in depth. We also meet unique artisans in Kyoto and other cities. This trip is lead by Sensei Kazuaki Tanahashi and Roshi Joan Halifax. The cost, cancellation policy, and other details follow the detailed itinerary.
2 This pilgrimage will focus on the extraordinary Japanese sculptor and Buddhist monk Enkū ( ). Enku wandered all over Japan, on pilgrimage, teaching, and helping the poor along the way and leaving the treasures of his art. During his travels, he carved over 100,000 wooden statues of the Buddha. No two were alike. Many of the statues were crudely carved from tree stumps or scrap wood with a few strokes of a hatchet. Some were given to comfort those who had lost family members, others to guide the dying on their journey to the afterlife. Thousands of these wooden statues remain today all over Japan, especially in the Hida and Gifu regions. This Enku Pilgrimage will take us to Kyoto and Nagoya where we find rare examples of his art; his birth place Gifu Hashima; the place of his first carving Gujo Hachimon; beautiful Senko-ji near Takayama; Kyodo Shiryu-kan in Takayama; and Moroku-ji in Seki, where he died. We will have the chance to enter private homes and small and large temples and private museums where these statues are kept and revered, and to be in a part of rural Japan that is rare and beautiful. Plus we are going in the spring, when the mountains will be alive with blossoms. We will also have time with artists who are in the Enku Society and to see their works and learn of their devotion to Enku. The trip willl be co-led by Sensei Kaz Tanahashi, who has written the book, "Enku: Sculptor of a Hundred Thousand Buddhas." With Kaz will be Roshi Joan Halifax, Abbot of Upaya Zen Center, and artist Mitsue Nagase. "Enku ( ) was an extraordinary monk. The rough and direct quality of his wooden sculptures arose from the speed of his chisel strokes and his compulsion to carve an enormous quantity of images. He completed 100,000 pieces of sculpture in his lifetime, a fact which by itself distinguishes him among sculptors. These sometimes smiling, sometimes fierce figures of deities were worshipped by the common people of his time; even today people attribute spiritual powers to them. Mystic anecdotes about many of these carved images have been passed on by many generations of believers. "The most remarkable aspect of Enku's work is its timelessness. The composition tends be abstract and the form simple, unique and free from traditional iconography. The surface of the figures is often unfinished, preserving the original coarse quality of the material.
3 "Enku's sculpture remained obscure from the seventeenth century until its rediscovery in the 1950s. Now this esoteric Buddhist ascetic is rapidly gaining recognition, and he is emerging as one of the most important sculptors in the history of Japanese art." ITINERARY April 6 th Depart (from North America or Europe) April 7 th We meet at Nanzen Kaikan in Kyoto which is located right in front of the historic and magnificent Sanmon gate of the Nanzenji Monastery, one of the headquarters of the Rinzai School Zen.
