Tokyo – In response to the delay and cancelation of film festivals globally due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Award-Winning Director and Producer Yujiro Seki has announced that there will also be a delay to the start of the distribution process for the documentary Carving the Divine – Buddhist Sculptors of Japan. However, Yujiro Seki also announced that he has resumed the production of Carving the Divine TV as a YouTube TV series.
“We express our condolences to everyone who are victims of the novel coronavirus around the world. Carving the Divine was accepted to some of the major film festivals before the pandemic hit, but all these festivals have since been canceled or postponed. Because of these delays, we have also postponed the distribution of the documentary. And for this, we are very much devastated.”
Synopsis: The documentary offers a rare and intimate look inside the life and artistic process of modern-day Busshi – practitioners of a 1400 year lineage of woodcarving at the beating heart of Japanese, Mahayana Buddhism.

“On the other hand, it’s time to make the lemonade with lemons. We have great news! Just over a year ago, we suspended producing new episodes for Carving the Divine TV but now its time to resume our show so that we can be of service to all the people who are suffering through this difficult time! We are even planning to offer some of the shows in Spanish (with English translation)! We are excited to provide new entertaining and profound content that you cannot get anywhere else!”
The YouTube TV is a series of Q&A sessions with Buddhist scholars and practitioners. These Q&A sessions explore the history and basic concepts of Buddhism so that when viewers finally watch the documentary Carving the Divine, they will get the maximum value of the documentary.
