We have Golden Week holidays in the begining of May in Japan.
Today was the last day of the holiday for most of us.
I went to the Ashura exhibition in Tokyo National Museum.
The sculpture of Ashura is one of the most treasured sculptures made during the beginning to mid-7th century.
Ashura and other statues are the masterpieces from Kohfukuji in Nara, (near to Kyoto) and are exhibited outside the temple together for the first time.
Photos of the sculptures can been seen here:

I can not believe that such complicated sculptures were made in such a long time ago.
It is said that even with current technology, it's impossible to make same ones.
The craftsmen at that time had incredible skills and might have some powers.
