Tokyo National Museum
Finished
SHARE
Rokuharamitsuji, originally named Saikoji, was founded by the priest Kuya Shonin outside the capital of Kyoto (present Higashiyamaku of Kyoto city) in the mid-10th century during the Heian period (794-1192). Because Rokuharamitsuji continued to attract many people, and also because it was located in a place of political importance, Heian and Kamakura period masterpieces of Buddhist statues have been preserved there. Tokyo National Museum will display statues from Rokuharamitsuji, which seldom leave the temple, for the occasion of the renovation of its treasure house. The exhibition demonstrates how the sculptural style of Buddhist statues changed from the 10th through the 13th centuries.
