The Kohfukuji National Treasure Hall
The exterior of this museum located in Kohfukuji Temple recreates the appearance of the temple's dining hall when it was first built in the Nara period. The museum's collection includes paintings, Buddhist images, handicrafts, writings, documents, historical materials, artifacts, and other items related to the history of Kohfukuji Temple. Its centerpiece, however, is the Senju Kannon Bosatsu statue, which was the principal object of worship of the temple's former dining hall. Another item of note in the collection is a Nara period Ashura statue believed to be a masterpiece of the Tenpyo style of sculpture.
