The 34th Koyasan Great Treasure Exhibition "Treasures of Mount Koya"
Why not come and see the Eight Great Children Statues?
Period: July 13, 2013 (Saturday) - September 23 (Monday)

The Koyasan Reihokan Museum will exhibit "Treasures of Mount Koya," including the National Treasure Statues of the Eight Great Children, as well as the National Treasure "Amida Shoju Raigo-zu."

Mount Koya was established as a training center for Esoteric Shingon Buddhism, but along with the various faiths, many Buddhist statues and paintings that could be considered religious art have been passed down. This time, we would like to give you a glimpse of a part of them.
