Three Photo Diagrammatic Representations.

Collection Creator:
Knez, Eugene I. (Eugene Irving), 1916-2010  Search this
Container:
Box 18
Type:
Archival materials
Scope and Contents note:
Includes the representation of the famous eighth century Japanese bronze statue of Gakko or Chandraprabha located in the Yakushiji monastery at Nara; "Ephiphany of Supreme Illumination;" and "The Cosmogram of the Matrix of Supreme Compassion." Material is in oversize map case drawers. All three representations came from Lokesh Chandra, New Delhi, India. Since the material is out of context it needs to be studied to see if all three represent Japanese Buddhism.
Collection Restrictions:
The Eugene Irving Knez papers are open for research.

Access to the Eugene Irving Knez papers requires an appointment.
Collection Rights:
