Koyasan Reihokan Museum has an enormous collection of approximately 28,000 designated items and 50,000 undesignated items. Among these are many treasures that are rarely exhibited and rarely seen. This exhibition will display a number of masterpieces and rarities from among these rare items, focusing on drawings, crafts, and modern paintings.
Although this is only a small part of it, we hope that you will be able to experience the history of Mount Koya from a different perspective through the various cultural assets that have been passed down at Mount Koya.
