| Research Abstract |
Pictures were taken in a few caves at Toyok, Bezeklik, and Baixihar(in the Turfan area) and at Qizil, Qumtura, and Subashi(in the Kucha area). These images have been digitally processed in order to obtain clearer images of the faded paintings and inscriptions in these caves. Some illegible inscriptions have already become legible.
In addition, various aspects of visualization were examined. In particular, there has been progress in the ongoing research of the transformation tableaux based on the Amitayus Visualization Sutra.
