Overview
Overview
The exhibition annex was opened in February 1994. It includes many of Denchu's works and studies, including a bronze casting (made from the original wood-carving) of Tenshō (Reincarnation) of 1920. The statue depicts a wrathful figure with a halo of flames – perhaps the Buddhist deity Fudô-myôô – as it vomits out a tiny human figure.
