Mandala No. 1 (1998) represents a late-career engagement with the sacred diagram that had been central to East Asian Buddhist devotional practice for over a millennium. The mandala — a geometric representation of the cosmic order, centered on a deity and surrounded by concentric zones of sacred geography — provided Hagiwara with a subject where the abstract and the spiritual were inseparable. His carved woodblock surfaces, already developed over decades to suggest cosmic texture and depth, were particularly suited to rendering the mandala's layered complexity.
