Exhibition Acknowledgements

This exhibition was conceived by Professor Jiang Wu, Director of the Center for Buddhist Studies of the University of Arizona with curatorial oversight by Dr. John Johnston and website design by Jeffrey Liu. Dr. Patricia Graham, Dr. John Johnston, and Dr. Elizabeth Sharf wrote the narrative texts, guided the exhibition’s design, and assisted the Exhibition Committee in choosing objects for the exhibition. We wish to thank Dr. Paul Berry for assisting with the selection of objects, and the artist Mansheng Wang for transcribing many calligraphic inscriptions. Collectively, our efforts honor the pioneering research on Ōbaku visual arts by the late Professor Stephen Addiss.
