The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies on Buddhism (CEIB – Inalco-EPHE-Collège de France) organized a one-day workshop at Inalco that aims at exploring the creative process of Buddhist image-making in Asia (Burma, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Tibet). It focuses on the anthropological and sociological aspects of the image makers’ profession and the rituals they are engaged in. It proposes to rethink about the role of artists and handicraft production in the current religious reconfigurations, and to examine the use of new manufacture technologies and its impact on Buddhist practices.
