SHARE
This exhibition commemorates the 1300th anniversary of Kohfukuji Temple, Nara, featuring the sculpture of Ashura, one of the most treasured sculptures made during the beginning to mid-7th century. Ashura and other statues consisting the Devas of the Eight Classes and the Ten Great Disciples of Buddha, among which 14 survive today, will be exhibited outside the temple together for the first time. Another highlight is the objects excavated from the Chukondo (Central Golden (Main) Hall) site, where its restoration project is underway, originally buried to pacify the gods and the land to pray for the safety of the Hall and Buddhist statues for which it was built.
