Want to Know More? Introduction to the World of Frolicking Animals!
At the beginning of the Kamakura period (13th century), a Buddhist priest named Myoe restored Kosan-ji in the mountains of Kyoto. A set of handscrolls painted over 800 years ago was passed down at this tranquil mountain temple, and is now a National Treasure known as The Scrolls of Frolicking Animals.
*We anticipate congestion just before the entrance time. Please purchase tickets as early as possible, well in advance of the show time.This VR focuses on the first of the four extant scrolls and provides detailed and easy-to-follow explanations of the miraculous world of animals unfolding vividly on the scroll.
