Sea of Buddha is a series of 1000 bodhisattva studies in Kyoto's Sanjusangen-do Temple (The Hall of the Thirty-three Bays). Sugimoto photographed each group of statues in the same way, focusing on one, surrounded by its near-identical neighbors, and combining the series in a single scroll-like image, folded accordion style. The result is Sugimoto's most challenging book, a combination of modernity and tradition. - Parr \u0026amp; Badger The Photobook: A History Volume I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted in Japan.
