A few days ago, I had the chance to visit Ueno and saw the special exhibition at the Tokyo National Museum—'The Eleven-Headed Kannon of Shorinji Temple: The Buddha of Mt. Miwa Faith,' which was shown in Tokyo for the first time. The wooden Buddhist statues on display are all national treasures of Japan, and it's really rare to see them. Because of the pandemic, though, there weren't many visitors, so it felt a bit quiet.



The collection here is really extensive. It's definitely worth taking your time to explore everything.
