TOKYO NATIONAL MUSEUM Special Exhibition National Treasures from Yakushi-ji Temple

TOKYO NATIONAL MUSEUM Special Exhibition National Treasures from Yakushi-ji Temple

I went to Tokyo National Museum. It is holding a special exhibition "National Treasures from Yakushi-ji Temple." The exhibition features the bronze sculptures of the deities Nikko Bosatsu (Suryaprabha) and Gakko Bosatsu (Candraprabha) from the Yakushi-ji Temple in Nara. I was very impressed because I could view all sides of these two statues. After that, I had a fun time walking around the museum garden and viewing cherry blossoms.
