DescriptionKoryuji in Uzumasa is known as one of Kyoto’s oldest temples. Its Treasure Hall houses the celebrated National Treasure Miroku Bosatsu in a pensive half-seated pose, renowned as Japan’s first National Treasure sculpture; the contemplative posture and quiet smile convey profound mystery. Against a history associated with Prince Shotoku and the Hata clan, visitors can encounter a beauty and devotion carried across the centuries.
