The Resurrection of Jakuchu

Ito Jakuchu's legendary masterpiece, "Shaka and the Sixteen Arhats Screen," was thought to have been lost in war damage. Only a black-and-white photograph remains of this lost work, which was found in an exhibition catalogue from the early Showa period. This new adventure in images has been undertaken by carefully examining various sources and using digital technology to bring back to life what it originally looked like.
