Choju-giga is a dynamic depiction of humans or anthropomorphic animals using only ink lines. Kozanji Temple's Chojugiga is one of Japan's most famous paintings, but most people never see it. After several decades of restoration, it was finally completed in four volumes and will be exhibited at the Tokyo National Museum. This is one of the most popular exhibits at the Tokyo National Museum. This beautiful illustrated book is also one of the most popular illustrated books published by the Tokyo National Museum. Not only does it contain all the Choju-Giga scrolls, but it also displays valuable Buddhist cultural assets from Kyoto's Kozanji Temple. These include portraits and manuscripts of Japan's national treasure, Shonin Minghui, scrolls of the founder of the Kegon school of Buddhism, and beautiful wood carvings of Japanese Buddhist sculptors.
