Publisher's Synopsis

The practice of using lacquer to form Buddhist sculptures dates back to the late sixth-century Sui dynasty (581-618 CE) shortly after Buddhism came to China but very few of these often life-size or larger sculptures remain. For the first time, Buddhis lacquer sculptures and their place in Buddhist practice are discussed holistically by scholars from a range of disciplines.
