In the mid-6th century, the introduction of Buddhism from Korea (Baekje) to Nippon resulted in a revival of Japanese sculpture. Buddhist monks, artisans and scholars settled effectually the majuscule in Yamato Province (present day Nara Prefecture) and passed their techniques to native craftsmen. Consequently, early Japanese sculptures from the Asuka and Hakuhō periods evidence strong influences of continental fine art, which initially were characterized by almond-shaped eyes, upward-turned crescent-shaped lips and symmetrically arranged folds in the vesture. The workshop of the Japanese sculptor Tori Busshi, who was strongly influenced by the Northern Wei style, produced works which exemplify such characteristics. The Shakyamuni triad and the Guze Kannon at Hōryū-ji are prime number examples. By the late 7th century, wood replaced bronze and copper. By the early on Tang dynasty, greater realism was expressed by fuller forms, long narrow slit eyes, softer facial features, flowing garments and embellishments with ornaments such as bracelets and jewels. Two prominent examples of sculptures of this period are the Shō Kannon at Yakushi-ji and the Yumechigai Kannon at Hōryū-ji.[1] [2] [3]

During the Nara period, from 710 to 794, the government established and supported workshops called zōbussho, the about prominent of which was located in the uppercase Nara at Tōdai-ji, which produced Buddhist statuary. Dirt, lacquer and woods, in addition to bronze, were used. Stylistically, the sculptures were influenced by the high Tang style, showing fuller body modelling, more natural drapery and a greater sense of movement. Representative examples of Nara menses sculpture include the Great Buddha and the Four Heavenly Kings at Tōdai-ji, or the Eight Legions at Kōfuku-ji.[4]

Early on Heian catamenia works before the mid-10th century appear heavy compared to Nara menstruum statues, carved from single blocks of wood, and characterised by draperies carved with alternating round and sharply cut folds. Stylistically, they followed loftier to afterward Tang fashion. In the Heian period the zōbussho were replaced with temple-run and independent workshops; wood became the primary medium; and a specific Japanese style emerged. Past the mid-tenth century, the style was refined presenting a more calm and gentle appearance, with attenuated proportions. Jōchō was the most of import sculptor of this fourth dimension, and he used the yosegi technique, in which several pieces of wood are joined to sculpt a single figure. He was the ancestor of three important schools of Japanese Buddhist bronze: the Enpa, Inpa and Keiha schoolhouse. The Amida Nyorai at Byōdō-in is the merely extant work past Jōchō.[4] [5] [6] Japanese sculpture experienced a renaissance during the Kamakura period, led by the Kei school. Partially influenced past Song dynasty Red china, their sculpture is characterised by realism featuring elaborate top knots, jewelry, and wavy drapery. Although predominantly wooden, bronze was also used as a material for the statues. As a novelty, portrait sculptures of prominent monks were created adjacent to the delineation of Buddhist deities.[7]

The term "National Treasure" has been used in Nihon to denote cultural backdrop since 1897.[8] The definition and the criteria accept changed since the inception of the term. These sculptures attach to the electric current definition, and have been designated national treasures since the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties came into force on June ix, 1951. The items are selected past the Ministry of Education, Civilisation, Sports, Science and Technology based on their "especially high historical or artistic value".[9] [x] This list presents 140 entries of sculptures, including those from Classical and early Feudal Nippon of the 7th-century Asuka menstruum to the 13th-century Kamakura menstruation, although the number of sculptures is higher, because groups of related sculptures have sometimes been joined to course single entries. The sculptures listed depict Buddhist and Shintō deities or priests venerated as founders of temples. Some of the nearly ancient sculptures were imported direct from Mainland china.[10] [xi]

Various materials have been used for the sculptures. Although nearly are wooden, 12 entries in the list are bronze, xi are lacquer, seven are made of dirt and 1 entry, the Usuki Stone Buddhas, is a stone sculpture. Typically hinoki, Japanese nutmeg, sandalwood and camphorwood were the forest used for the wooden sculptures. Wooden sculptures were often lacquered or covered with gold-leaf. The smallest statue measures around 10 centimetres (3.nine in), whereas the Great Buddhas of Nara and Kamakura are almost xiii metres (43 ft) and 15 metres (49 ft) high. The objects on the list are located in Buddhist temples, or in museums associated with temples. Some items are located in shrines, as well every bit in secular museums.[ten] [11] [12]

Nara Prefecture is domicile to the largest number of National Treasure sculptures, with 77 of the 140 entries. Together with the 41 entries located in Kyoto Prefecture, they constitute the bulk of sculptural National Treasures. Hōryū-ji and Kōfuku-ji are the locations with the about entries, with 18 and 18 designations respectively.
