| Research Abstract |
In order to codify "Performing art of Maitreya" from the perspective of iconography, I conducted a survey, and collected data on "Religion of Visiting God". "Performing art of Maitreya" is a kind of " Performing art of Marebito". I proceeded to a comparative study of Performing art and Masks of Visiting Gods. The results were published as "The Birth of Performing art of Marebito" (Fuyo Shobo Publishing).
