📍 Kyoto, Japan.From the museums of Tokyo to the art galleries of Osaka, and finally to this mirrored city of Kyoto, we have completed a journey of pursuit.
These statues, severed from the landscapes of the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, China, found themselves scattered here. They are like wanderers forced to leave their homeland. Once, they stood upon the cliffs, silently watching over the vibrant life of the Luo River valley. Now, separated by vast mountains and seas, they find the road back to their native soil blocked and distant.

With a serenity that has endured for a millennium, they quietly survey this foreign land that was never their home.
The Jingwei Initiative: Longmen Grottoes Digital Return and Cultural Outreach Action.
📍 Tokyo National Museum, the oldest museum in Japan, houses a collection of over 120,000 artifacts. Opening the floor guide, the word "China" appears everywhere, quietly occupying the core exhibition route.

In the East, there lies a river valley. Its rocks bear not only the carved visages of Buddhas but also the enduring memory of dialogues, encounters, and fusion spanning a millennium. Today, Longmen has long transcended the definition of a mere "historic site." It is being re-sculpted by the world in new ways: international scholars decode its history here, digital artists breathe life into its traditions, and global travelers seek resonance and inspiration. Every gaze, every share, and every thought of ours is participating in this carving that transcends a thousand years.#龙门石窟 #国际
