The mural painting of the Takamatsuzuka Tumulus, a national treasure of Asuka Village in Nara Prefecture, which has been repaired for 12 years, has been open to the public for the first time since 18th.

The mural paintings of the Takamatsuzuka Tumulus, a national treasure created in the Asuka era about 1300 years ago in Asuka Village, have deteriorated due to a large amount of mold, so after being taken out in 2007, it will be about until March this year. Restoration work was carried out over 12 years.

The first mural painting to be opened to the public after the restoration was scheduled for May this year, but it was postponed due to the new coronavirus and started on the 18th.

The people who were selected by the lottery in advance divided into 5 and 6 people and put on masks and entered the facility.

Through the glass, we were able to see through the glass the highly-painted mural paintings that had been restored, such as the “Girls Group” known as “Asuka Bijin” and the “Blue Dragon” and “Genbu” who are the guardians of the direction.

A man in his 70s who visited said, "I have visited more than 20 times, but I think it has become beautiful. I want to pass it on to the next generation carefully."

It will be open to the public until the 24th of this month, but applications required in advance have already been closed.
