Chuguji Temple is located next to Horyu-ji Temple in Ikaruga Town, Nara Prefecture. It was actually founded in a different location. This site, designated as a historic site, has seen Japan's first discovery during excavation work, as well as revealing what Chuguji Temple looked like at the time! The research team also visited the current Chuguji Temple to view two national treasures: the beautiful "smiling" principal image familiar from textbooks, and the oldest embroidery in Japan. We will explore the charm of Chuguji Temple, a temple with a long history where a female member of the imperial family serves as the chief priest. (Kansai Information Network ten.
