Japanese museum to return Buddha statue to China
OTSU, Japan - Photo shows an ancient Buddha statue that was reportedly stolen from a garden in China and then kept at a private museum in Japan. The Miho Museum in Shigaraki, Shiga Prefecture, said April 16 it will return the statue to China in 2007. The museum said it bought the statue in 1995 from a London art dealer and only learned four years later that it may be stolen property. The 120-centimeter tall image was made in China in the early sixth century. The photo was provided by the Miho Museum.
