Nakagura Temple

Japan, 1-1-2 Horyujikita, Ikaruga-cho, Ikoma-gun, Nara Prefecture 636-0111

It is said that Prince Shotoku built the imperial site for his mother, Empress Anahobe Mahito, turned into a temple, and is listed as one of the Yamato Sanmon Temples. He was also known as the Ikaruga Imperial Palace. The main image of the Bodhisattva semi-sparrowed thought (national treasure), which was created in the late Asuka period, is one of the three great figures of smiles in the world, along with the Mona Lisa and the Sphinx. His beautiful half-thinking look as he crosses his right foot and tries to touch the fingers of his right hand on his cheek, and his elegant smile also praises Watsuji Tetsuro in his book, "The Pilgrimage to the Ancient Temple."
