We just learned about the Noh Masks.
Another famous ancient Japanese sculpture is the Wooden Buddha by Enkū.
In the 1600s in Japan there was a monk named Enkū who was also a poet and an artist who carved over 100,000 wooden sculptures of Buddha.
Sometimes he made these sculptures as payment for food and a place to sleep as he traveled around Japan.
