Why You Should Visit
Nara's signature autumn exhibition, showing treasures from the Shosoin repository that are opened to the public only once a year. This year 60 items from the North, Middle and South storehouses and the Shogozo are on view, 11 of them for the first time. Highlights include the Persian-style lacquered ewer (shikkohei), the clear-glass hakururi-no-hei, ivory go stones linked to Emperor Shomu and a mitsuda-painted box, all evoking life and taste in 8th-century Nara. Timed-entry tickets; doors open at 8:00.
