To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nothing like a complete enumeration of the Suiko pieces known to us can be attempted. Another bronze Buddha in fragmentary condition stands upon the same altar. But a second interesting group of studies is found in the wooden figures which chiefly belong to two temples, Horiuji, and the Rokkakudo of Udzumasa near Kioto. Closely akin to the Bodhisattwa of the bronze Trinity is the separate wooden Kwannon, holding a vase in her left hand. Here we find the flame halo, the large head with heavy fea...tures, and the lotos throne of petals that bend downward — all characteristic of Suiko Corean work, but there is an attempt to model naturally the exposed upper portion of the body. In the two gilded Bodhisattwa that stand on the Kondo altar, we have a still greater pensive sweetness, the heads are rounded, and bound with a wreath that really feels half Greek. Of an entirely different type, being almost Aztec in feeling, we have the small and earliest Kwannon of eleven heads, cut out of a hard dark mahogany- like wood resembling bronze.
