Kohfukuji Temple will celebrate the 1300th anniversary of its founding in 2010. The 1300th anniversary of the transfer of the capital to Heijokyo will also be celebrated. This special exhibition is planned as an appeal for reconstruction of Chukondo (Central Main Hall) - the biggest project to commemorate the 1300th anniversary. The exhibit includes great Buddhist statues of the Kamakura period from Kohfukuji Temple including Unkei's masterpieces 'Mujaku-bosatsu' and 'Seshin-bosatu' standing statues (national treasures), mandala paintings inside the halls, paintings produced by the Nanto Buddhist Painters Guild, and works and materials concerning a holy priest Jokei. In addition to these treasures from Kohfukuji Temple, treasures from other temples, shrines, and museums are exhibited. We confirm the cultural significance of the Kohfukuji restoration in the Kamakura period. A model of the Central Main Hall and artifacts from the excavation are also exhibited in order to focus on the present restoration project. |
