This exhibition features about 110 treasures that have been kept by
the three temples, Eifuku-ji, Yachu-ji, and Taiseisyogun-ji, which
have a strong relationship with Prince Shotoku. Exhibition highlights
include screen paintings from the 14th century that depict the life of
Prince Shotoku. These paintings have also gone through a major
restoration and their vibrant colors will be available for public view
after 500 years.
