Publisher's Synopsis
This book treated only the monument that concerns "face" in Cambodian Angkor Vat.
Many people are attracted by the boldness of the face that is carved in the rock that lies before either side at the time and continues.
That is made to jump a chest there bold uplifting feeling won't it be seized?
Because it comes one after another, it is interesting.
The people who are an architect and an artist must have been captivated by this "all sides God" in a dream formerly. It follows.
The work of Angkor Wat here is in drawing one stroke based on "Face" photograph that I took in the locale.
At first, this was a black line.
However, I colored this after that.
As a result, the work that was made was completed.
In this booklet, what I dealt with is narrowed down to the one that the drawn one is comparatively easy to understand among them.
As ruins, the thing that I dealt with is only the one closest to SIEMREAP.
The focus is on the great ruins that stretch north, south, east, west. I also treat a lot of faces, such as those represented by the four-sided god.
The ruins of Angkor Wat are magnificent among the ruins of Cambodia.
Therefore, it is extremely different in terms of area, stone building technology, size, etc. from those of ruins seen in rural areas.
Through all aspects, this place looks like the culmination of the Angkor ruins. That's how huge it is here.
As for Khmer art, the architectural style of the dynasty that had emerged from the Mekong River since around the 5th century has grown.
It reached the level of completion around the12th century.
As is characteristic of reliefs and four-sided gods, architectural art has been intricately mixed over the years.
The Funan dynasty rises in ancient Times of Cambodia, and this will become a SHINBA dynasty before long.
Afterwards, this divides into LAND・SHINROU and Water.
However, the ruins group in Angkor Wat is born on the extension line of LAND・SHINROU who took the position on the north side of Tonle Sap, and exists. After that, the dynasty moved west to the west.
This leads to the completion of Angkor Wat ruins in the process.
As a result, this ruins culture becomes the heyday.
At last, the magnificent stone building came to be achieved on the north side of the lake named Tonle sap.
This booklet, especially the four-sided god, I have created.
However, I felt it when coming off from the whole image of Angkor Wat only by it.
So, as the composition of each page, I have inserted an improv drawing of Angkor Wat at random in the lower left of the page.
Therefore, the upper row and the lower right of each page are related to this book. However, the drawing of the pencil in the lower left is scattered in ruins in Angkor Wat.
