Katalog zur gleichnamigen Ausstellung vom 18. Februar bis zum 9. April 2007 im Museum Rietberg Zürich. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Nationalmuseum Nara "Kannon, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, is probably Japan's most popular Buddhist deity. Images of Kannon - who hears the cries for help of all beings in distress - are the main focus of worship in many Japanese temples. The Museum Rietberg presents an exceptional selection of the most beautiful sculptures and paintings from the seventh to the fourteenth century, some of which have never been seen before outside Japan or which are rarely accessible even to the Japanese public."--Jacket Editorial Director, Katharina Epprecht.
