2023日本纪录片
导演:Yujiro Seki
Carving the Divine offers a rare look into a 1400-year-old Buddhist woodcarving tradition and the practitioners struggling to preserve its legacy in a rapidly changing Japan. Master Koun Seki, the former apprentice of renowned Busshi Kourin Saito, holds interviews for a new apprentice. Once Master Seki makes his selection, we’re taken on a trip through a guild culture unlike anything existing today in The West: From the growing pains of a novice apprentice, to the entire guild working together as one body to create breathtaking works of art.
