Self-description:
"This photo library and dictionary [est. 1995] is a labor of love. After moving to Kamakura in 1993, I [= Mark Schumacher] became intrigued by the many deities and faces of Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism. There are dozens of temples and shrines near my home, many dating from the 8th to 13th centuries, many open to the public. There are 400+ deities in this dictionary, and 4,000+ photos of statuary from Kamakura, Nara, Kyoto, and elsewhere in Japan. Any mistakes or omissions are my responsibility."
