Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) has begun the limited sale of sculpted redevelopment, which is an accurate reproduction of “Akishinoji Kageten-tenji” which is said to be the only statue of Gigeitenzo in Japan. I will. This work has been completed with unprecedented reproducibility based on highly accurate data created by 3D scanning of the real thing.
An important cultural property, “Kizoku Denkyo Tenryu Statue”, which is owned by Akishinoji Temple in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, is the only statue in Japan that is transmitted.
As a celestial maiden, Kekiten gathers the faith of performing arts, artists and creators because it is said to have the merit of fulfilling various arts and Fukunoku Enman.
This time, with the permission of Akishinoji, the graceful form was faithfully reproduced using high-precision data obtained by 3D scanning the actual Buddha image. In addition, based on the technique cultivated by the wood carving painter Chiaki Takaaki, realistic coloring is applied to recreate the unique texture created only by the images of the eternal time.
You can enjoy the atmosphere as if you were looking at the real thing, and you can also see the back and sides of the statue, which you cannot see in the temple.
This work will be on sale from Monday, August 24th, at the following stores only.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
