About

"The Christian Kannon, The Buddhist Madonna" was created as a project for the graduate course "ARH 607: Digital Art History". It centers on Maria Kannon as a topic related to my Masters' thesis on the Kawaguchi Amida Buddha and its contents as featured in the exhibition, which will be completed in May-June 2016.

Compiling a gallery of Maria Kannon and other underground Christian images helped me understand whether or not the Komori Kannon inserted inside of the Kawaguchi Amida can be classified as a Maria Kannon and how it relates to other Marian/Kannon images.
