DescriptionChuguji’s Main Hall houses the National Treasure pensive half-seated Bosatsu. With one leg crossed and fingertips resting against the cheek, the figure appears absorbed in deep contemplation while bearing a quiet smile. Encountered in the calm atmosphere of this nunnery beside Horyuji, it conveys not intimidation but gentle nobility and introspective mystery. Though an ancient Buddhist image, it still seems to speak closely to the human heart.
