The image is a photograph of a sign that reads "Silk Road Exploration" in Chinese. The sign is rectangular in shape and has a red background with white text. The text is written in both English and Chinese characters. Below the text, there is a subtitle in Chinese that translates to "Hirayama's collections and paintings are mainly the result of his keen and arduous pursuit in art creation inspired by many travels along the Silk Road following the footsteps of Xuanzong. Through observation of the origin and transmission of Buddhism, he came to realize that the holy and solemn nature of Buddhism lies in its reflection and merging of the soul and beauty of the people. The Silk Road travels inspired him to create and further led to his incitement in cultural heritage protection along the silk road and his candle prayer for the peace in the world."
