The manufacture of pressed out Buddhist images was very popular in Japan throughout the 7th and 8th centuries. It is a kind of Buddhist image modeled with copper plate (0.5mm thick) on a cast bronze prototype, and most of them are found in miniature temples called Zushi, indicating that they have been objects of individual worship. The objects in question were found in a stone chamber of the Atagoyama tomb, Tsu City, Mie prefecture in 1931. As the copper plate had already been corroded into powder, it could not be taken up from the soil layer by ordinary procedures. The authors treated them in the following way: 1) The soil was removed from the surface of the copper plates by use of a needle. 2) The surfaces of the images were covered and fixed with a thick layer of acrylic resin. 3) The resin-covered images were taken up from the ground. 4) The reverse side was cleaned and epoxy resin backing was applied. 5) The acrylic resin cover was dissolved off with xylene. During the procedure 5), it became necessary to prevent the epoxy resin backing from swelling due to xylene. Agar-agar was successfully used as an intermediate support for the pressed images. Art historical descriptions of the images thus restored are given. -- AATA
