About this event
Marking the 400th anniversary of Emperor Gomizunoo's Imperial Visit of Kanyei in the 3rd year of Kanyei (1626), Kosho-ji Temple presents the "400th Anniversary of the Imperial Visit of Kanyei Special Exhibition". In this special exhibition, precious items handed down at the temple will be displayed in the Daishoin (Grand Study Hall), including items associated with Emperor Gomizunoo and Empress Dowager Tofukumonin, as well as temple treasures connected to Nagai Naomasa, the lord of Yodo Domain who rebuilt Kosho-ji in Uji. Notably, the seated statue of Sho Kannon Bodhisattva associated with Tofukumonin is said to have been made by pasting together calligraphy written by Emperor Gokomyo; through these temple treasures, visitors can experience court culture and Kosho-ji's history. Visitors can take their time enjoying the temple grounds in autumn alongside historic treasures preserved across 400 years.
