Japanese Art and Archaeology - Temples, Shrines, Pottery, Sculpture. This is another useful website maintained by an avid photographer, Mr. Gunther. He allows the use of his materials through a Creative Commons license, but be sure to follow the instructions for giving him credit. This link is to a page on shrines and temples, to read about him and use of his images, link here: http://www.art-and-archaeology.com/timelines/about.html#copyright. His preferred credit line is "Michael D. Gunther / www.art-and-archaeology.com" Browsing through his pages, there is a great deal more than I just described, including glossary, links to other online resources for Japanese art history! Check it out!

See my comment below (Asuka Period Buddhist Sculpture) regarding Mr. Schumacher's work in Japan.

Mark Schumacher authors an extensive website regarding all aspects of Japanese art, particularly Buddhist sculpture. This is not a university-hosted website such as I typically share with students. Instead, it is the remarkable and reliable work by an independent scholar, who after earning an MA in Japanese studies at Johns Hopkins University, has spent more than 20 years in Japan studying Japanese art history, visiting countless temples and other locations rich with primary sources and examples of Japanese art history. This link is to a page particular to Buddhist sculpture of the Asuka age, however one can visit the "parent" or home page and link to many other resources. I strongly urge everyone to visit this website. He generously allows the educational use of his materials, including his own photographs, bibliographies, and essays, with the simple condition that students and researchers correctly cite him, including copyright and exact webpage location.
