Outline of Final Research Achievements |
My main research is on the murals of Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka since late 19th.century, focusing on their contents, structure, artists, social and historical contexts, and influence on people. Key findings are; 1) murals, which are mostly about the life of Buddha, history of Buddhism, Buddhist royal kings, and Jataka stories, evoke visual sensations among people who have had violent and emotional experiences during ethnic conflicts and helps to project their experiences through the images of murals; 2) people could gain meanings for their experiences, and achieve religious reconciliation, including criticism on the perpetrators of the violence. Murals had significant functions as contemporary allegories, and the social roles of artists from the traditionally low caste community are highly demanded; 3) Buddhist temples, as image houses, have pursued socially committed public art, as the public art of specific museums and art spaces in Western society.
