Restoration of Byodo-in in Uji, a world heritage site of Kyoto, has been completed.

Byodo-in in Uji, Kyoto has completed its restoration work over two years. Many foreign tourists are visiting the temple now.

Fushimi Inari Taisha, which is famous for its Thousand Torii corridor, is not far from there. Thus many tourists go from Byodo-in to Fushimi Inari Taisha.

As I was asked by a friend from Germany whether the restoration of the temple has been finished, I wrote this article.

You can tell that she is an “android” when looking at her image. However, amazingly, you will never believe that she is non-human when watching her move in the movies on Youtube.

Do they want androids look more exactly like a human being? Or do they want to put more importance on their performance and go in different directions? We are unable to take our eyes off of what comes next.
