When we think of Buddha, we probably think of statues and paintings. Many statues and paintings of Buddha were originally created based on the figures written in the Buddhist scriptures, but I don't think many people think of the scriptures.
Therefore, in this exhibition, we will display and introduce Buddhist statues, paintings, and related scriptures.
