A masterpiece that is transmitted beyond many disasters
The national treasure "Kanshitsuhachi bushūritsuzō", which became the model for the product, is an eight statue made by Empress Komyō in 734 as a memorial service for her mother. It was created as part of a group of 28 Buddhist statues, many of which were destroyed by repeated damage such as fire and lightning strikes. However, the Eight Legions miraculously retain all eight Buddha statues.
