The Great Nirvana map, one of Japan's three paintings, will be unveiled.

The Great Nirvana, which is unveiled at the Reclining Buddha Festival, is said to have been painted by Kissan Mincho, an artist monk at Kyoto's Tofukuji Temple. It appears in front of people only for three days during this period.
The Nirvana Ceremony at Ryukoji Temple became famous because a cat, which was treated as a monster and was not allowed to be drawn among the 52 animals in the Nirvana drawing, was drawn in violation of the rules, causing a great deal of trouble. There is an episode where it happened.
