On May 18, 2004, the 144th NHK episode of "Project X" focused on the restoration of the twin 28-foot-tall wooden statues at the Todaiji in Nara, Japan. These Kongo Rikishi -- called Ungyo (w/ closed mouth) and Agyo (w/ open mouth) -- were sculpted in 1203 by a team of less than twenty people in a little over two months time, under the direction of master Japanese sculptors Unkei and Kaikei. This television special documents the first time in nearly 800 years that these statues were removed from their dedicated place at the Todaiji's gate, and disassembled for cleaning.

  • 日本の今に生きる技術の根幹でもあると思う。

  • コレこの前学校でみたwww

  • 運慶さんの仏像は、鎌倉時代の武士をイメージさせる激しい作品が­多いです。しかし、運慶さんは、小野寺さんのような穏やかな心の­持ち主だったのでしょうm(__)m。ふと、そういう気がしまし­た。

    合掌

  • 小野寺久幸さんと運慶さんをよく見てください。7分20秒~30­秒です。・・お二人のお顔が気持ち悪いほど似ている気がするので­すが^^;。寒気がしました。
