💨 Abstract

A 14th-century Korean Buddhist statue, stolen from a Japanese temple in 2012, was returned to Japan after a prolonged legal battle with South Korea. The gilt bronze Bodhisattva statue was welcomed back to Kannonji temple on Tsushima Island. The dispute involved a South Korean temple claiming ownership, but South Korea's Supreme Court ruled in Japan's favor in 2023.
