This Buddha statue was given to Soto-shu by a monastery in Thailand.

Definitely a nice temple complex with a lot of classical Japanese architecture. Unfortunately the museum is only open on weekends and holidays, so I couldn't go in there.

If you ever are in Tokyo it is easy to get to Soji-ji. It is a station away from Kawasaki which is fairly close to Shinagawa. It is like a five or ten minute walk up the hill west of the station and then you're there.

I noticed they had an international affairs office, but it was empty and dark. :ninja: I figured I might go say hello.
