Located in Ikaruga, Nara, is the Chūgūji, a temple built in the Asuka period by Prince Shotoku’s mother. It enshrines the statue of a pensive bodhisattva, a National Treasure that has also been deemed the pinnacle of Asuka-period art. Also on display will be the Tenjukoku Shucho Mandala, another National Treasure in the Chūgūji which was created to mourn the death of Prince Shotoku, as well as many other treasures from the temple.
