Sentokun

"Sentokun" is an official character of "Celebrating the 1300th anniversary of Nara Heijo-kyo Capital".
The character became a large problem because an original design that the deer horn had placed to the head of the great image of buddha though designed by a famous carver.
It is dissenter's opinion to blaspheme the god.
Those dissenters opposed it making a new character of "Mantokun" "Naamukun".
However, the popularity was "sentokun" after all.

Please reflect together in the photograph if you go to Nara City by sightseeing.
