Koryuji Temple is famous for its masterpiece, the Miroku Bosatsu, an enchanting seventh century pinewood statue of the Boddhisattva Maitreya, the future Buddha and bringer of salvation to mankind. This striking image is thought to have been a gift from the Korean court to Prince Shotoku Taishi, whom every school child knows as Japan's early promoter of the Buddhist faith.
