Pair of 1997 Japan Souvenir Medallions, Osaka Castle & Todai-ji Temple, 2pcs

Two pretty souvenir medallions from Japan, each celebrating one of the country's most famous historical landmarks. The first is dedicated to Tōdai-ji Temple, an 8th-century Buddhist complex located in Nara that houses the world's largest bronze statue of Buddha Vairocana. The second celebrates Osaka Castle, a 16th-century site that played a major role in the series of civil wars that united Japan under the Tokugawa Shogunate. Both medallions come in a plastic case that features Japanese text.
