** Explanation of the artwork **
"Heavenly Garden Tree" , in JP titled "Tendo Enju" is described as a work that evokes the scene where Shakyamuni Buddha delivered his final sermon to bodhisattvas and gods in the heavenly realm before his descent to the human world.
This is interpreted as a depiction of a fantastical world view inspired by the "sermon in Tusita Heaven" described in Buddhist scriptures.
The art works released in 1966 by Ikuo Hirayama
Starting with "The Transmission of Buddhism," Ikuo Hirayama created numerous series of works throughout his life on the theme of "the path of Buddhism's transmission (i.e., the path by which Buddhism spread from India to China and then to Japan)."
