Kura Storehouse (2017x12)
Data di messa in onda: Ott 16, 2017
This episode features kura, the storehouses or repositories that were once essential for holding and protecting treasured items. These structures have a long history. We look at their distinctive windows and the kote-e reliefs that adorn them. We also focus on the wealth of designs associated with uchi-kura or the storerooms that were built inside houses, as well as the storerooms crafted specifically for Buddhist images. The episode also features a startling example covered in lacquer work from floor to ceiling.
