Chisato Yamashita ”Māyā’s Dream” Bodhisattva Fugen sitting on the white elephant 

Chisato Yamashita is a Japanese-style painter whose motifs are seascapes and a world where creatures and people coexist, and she creates fantastic works of art. For this exhibition, produced by the artist Shisyu, she took up the challenge of creating Buddhist paintings, a first for the artist.　　

In the Maya's dream, Buddha himself appears on a white elephant in the dream of his mother, Lady Maya, and announces that she is pregnant. Fugen Bosatsu (Bodhisattva Fugen) also appears to the people on a white elephant and offers them salvation. Yamashita expresses a dreamlike world by using intricate luminous paints and shiny rock paints with particles as a fresh and mysterious blessing for the birth of a new life.
