Shattering the Void: Realms of Meaning in East Asian Art

Depicted here on bright yellow paper is Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha who lived sometime around 480 BCE in northern India. The Buddha is flanked by two of his first disciples: Ananda and Kashyapa. Today, Buddhism is the world’s fourth-largest religion, with more than 520 million followers that encompass a wide variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices largely based on the original teachings of the Buddha. This woodblock is from the Korean Buddhist temple known as Haiensa, which is famous for being the home of the 600-year-old Tripataka Koreana, a collection of Buddhist scriptures carved onto over 81,000 wooden printing blocks, from which prints like this one were made.
