Shokoji is a Buddhist temple belonging to the Jodo Shinshu Honganji-ha denomination. The temple is located on Toyama Bay near the mouth of the Oyabe River in Fushiki Furukokufu, Takaoka. Shokoji historically had strong ties to Honganji Temple, court nobles, and the Maeda family—the rulers of the Kaga Domain (1601–1871) that covered much of present-day Hokuriku—and developed into a magnificent monastery and temple complex. The 12 structures of the temple complex, including the spectacular Hondo (main hall), the Karamon gate relocated from Koshoji Temple in Kyoto, and the koraimon-style Somon (main gate) with fish-shaped shachihoko ornaments, are nationally designated Important Cultural Properties. In 2021, Shokoji Temple finished undergoing a 23-year-long restoration project termed the Great Heisei Restoration.
The special exhibition at Shokoji will include displays in the grand hall (ohiroma), reception hall (shikidai), kitchen (daidokoro), reception room (shoin), and restored connecting corridors (watari roka).

The Otaki-Okamoto Shrines are in the city of Echizen, a region known for washi papermaking. The upper shrine stands near the peak of Mt. Daitoku while the lower shrine is situated at the mountain’s foot. The current main sanctuary (honden) and worship hall (haiden) of the lower shrine are a nationally designated Important Cultural Property. The main sanctuary is a complicated compound structure that combines a one-bay sanctuary with flowing roof, a hip-and-gable-roofed worship hall with a tsumairi gabled approach, and a kohai step-canopy with undulating gables. The Okamoto Shrine is dedicated to Kawakami Gozen, a kami revered as the goddess of papermaking. As Japan’s only kami of paper, she acts as the guardian for people working in the paper industry throughout the country.
The special exhibition at the Otaki-Okamoto Shrines will include displays in the precincts of the lower shrine, the Juichimen Kannondo hall dedicated to the Eleven-Headed Kannon, and the area leading to the upper shrine.
