In conjunction with the May 28 release of the new animated film "Buddha" based on the classic manga by Tezuka Osamu, Tokyo National Museum is hosting the exhibition Buddha--The Story in Manga and Art. The exhibition brings together original manga illustrations from Tezuka's epic manga originally released in serial form over a ten-year period and masterworks of Buddhist sculpture from noted museum and temple collections. Tezuka's imaginative retelling of the biography of the Buddha Shakyamuni brings a personal touch to the story of his life and a new perspective for appreciating the exceptional cultural treasures appearing alongside them in this innovative exhibition.
