[Photo of one thousand life-size statues of the thousand-armed Kannon in the main hall of Rengeo-in, a Tendai temple in Kyoto]

Contemporary Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto wanted to photograph the Sanjusangendo, the main hall of Rengeo-in, a Tendai temple in Kyoto, which houses one thousand life-size statues of the thousand-armed Kannon. The temple authorities didn’t make it easy.

Here’s an interesting interview with Sugimoto from SFGate.com, the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site. With thanks to Uli Schnabel for the tip:

Comment policy

Your name and e-mail address are required. We don’t like graffiti any more than the next guy. To guard you against spamming, the e-mail address will not be displayed and will not be disclosed to anybody. If you have your own website, a link will be made there.

Zen Road makes extensive use of Markdown syntax to format the content of its articles and blog entries. If you want to apply any formatting to your comments, here are some examples:

  • write flowing text normally, not paying attention to the window border, like when writing an e-mail. If you want to force a new paragraph, separate it with a blank line
  • use asterisks (*) before and after a word to add *emphasis* or to make it **boldface**

More detailed (and complicated!) formatting examples can be found at the Markdown link.
