테스트

Japan has temporarily returned to Korea these gilded bronze
statues of Buddha made during the Unified Silla Dynasty (668 AD-935 AD) for exhibition at the National Museum of Korea in central Seoul. The exhibition, called “Echoes of Life, the Enduring Tradition of Unified Silla Sculpture,” opened on Dec. 16 and will last until March 1, 2009. The Buddha statues were taken by a Japanese businessman during Japan’s colonization of Korea and have been preserved at Japan’s Tokyo National Museum. By Park Jong-keun
