Lucky find under the Todai-ji

[Lorenzo]

[First of all sorry if it has already been posted, I usually follow only the tosogu section so I might have missed it.. in case delete ]

 

A fellow member of another forum I follow, who lives in Japan, posted this.

The nikkei news talk about a treasure find under the Todai-ji, under the great Buddha statue; two tachi 1250 years old (correct me if I am getting it wrong)

Thanks Lorenzo. I'm posting it on Samurai Archives in the Ancient Period subforum with

full credit to you.

 

Guess I've to get in touch with a friend of mine about the matter.

Credit goes to Beno of the Italian forum

It is in the Shizuoka Shinbun first page, and probably in many news today in Japan, I think we will know more soon

I wonder if they'll want them restoring...

You'll have to find the Italian ones yourselves, Carlo and Lorenzo :D
