Japan officials on way home with stolen statue returned from S. Korea

Japanese officials are about to pass a gate at Incheon International Airport west of Seoul on July 17, 2015, after receiving an ancient Japanese Buddha statue stolen by South Korean thieves in 2012. A bronze standing figure of the Tathagata Buddha, one of two taken from Kaijin Shrine in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture, southwestern Japan, was handed over to the Japanese visitors at the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage in Daejeon, central South Korea, earlier in the day.
