No One Can Walk Out of the Tokyo National Museum with a Smile (1) ๐ข
๐ Tokyo National Museum - Asian Art Building 1๏ธโฃ The entire first floor is filled with artifacts from Chinese grottoes. ๐ญ๐ Seeing the various grotto Buddha statues in the Asian Art Building, ๐ญI thought of the ruins I saw in the grottoes of Luoyang and Datong, ๐๐ธI remembered the regret and helplessness of the tour guides back then. Looking at the three stone statues from the Baoqing Temple in Xi'an, which cover an entire wall in the museum, ๐ข I felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. ๐๐ธI carefully examined each Buddha statue,imagining how incredibly magnificent they would be if they were still in their original places. ๐ #Tokyo ๐๐ธ
