PART B_2

Ashura is a statue with three faces and six arms. This can be found in Kofukuji Temple. It is considered one of the most famous Buddhist statues in Japan. This three-faced statue shows three different emotions. The emotion of the left face is a young angry man. Second, the right face expresses pain and regret. Lastly, the front face shows repentance.
Many buildings and statues in Kofukuji Temple have been destroyed by natural disasters. While the Ashura remains strong up to this day.
Ashura is light that is why it could be carried easily during an emergency. It stands 153 centimeters tall and weighs 15 kilograms. This was believed to be one of the reasons why it is able to survive for almost 1,300 years. Although its original colors have faded over the past years, people can still see its original colors and how it looked before through its replica that can be seen in Nara National Museum.
