Soon after Emperor Shomu&#8217;s death in 756, Empress Dowager Komyo donated about 650 items that belonged to the Emperor to Todai-ji as an offering to the Great Buddha of the temple, and later repeated her offerings. These and other valuable objects which have been preserved in the repository are what came to be known as the Shoso-in treasures. In 1997, the repository was designated as a national treasure, and in the following year, registered as a World Heritage site (as a part of the &#8220;Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara&#8221;).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tsumugu-blocks-modal-image wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15ec3b38785f33bdbe26f10de81fd47a.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><strong>Twelve-Pointed Mirror Decorated with Gold-Rimmed Cloisonn\u00e9 Petals on a Silver Plate<\/strong><br\/>South Section 70<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Special Exhibition<br><strong>The 76th Annual Exhibition of Sh\u014ds\u014d-in Treasures<\/strong><\/p><p>Oct 26 (Sat) &#8211; Nov 11 (Mon), 2024<\/p><p>Nara National Museum<br>(Nara)<\/p><cite>*See outline below for details<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The must-see among the items to go on display is the &#8220;Arm Rest Covered in a Patterned Silk (<em>Nishiki<\/em>) of Phoenix Medallions on a Purple Ground&#8221; (See top photo) from the North Section of the repository, which stored artifacts associated with Emperor Shomu, who reigned during the Nara period (8th century), meaning it was likely used by the Emperor himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tsumugu-blocks-modal-image wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/e72504ec4d814c58c823d631a2886489-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><strong>Green and Yellow Glass Ruler Pendants<\/strong><br\/>Middle Section 111, 112 <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"790\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/34de962b459a29897d9ef15103f537a4-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33137\"\/><figcaption><strong>Dark and Light Green Glass Fish-Shaped Ornaments, Blue Glass Fish-Shaped Ornament, Yellow Glass Fish-Shaped Ornament<\/strong><br>Middle Section128<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Twelve-Pointed Mirror Decorated with Gold-Rimmed Cloisonn\u00e9 Petals on a Silver Plate&#8221; from the South Section (historically, the storehouse of Todai-ji temple) will likely astound viewers with its brilliant contrast of green glaze and gold.
