Time Out says

Japan's shrines are a repository for all manner of cultural riches, from divine statues to paintings to kimono, but (unsurprisingly) it's not often that you get to see them all in one place. Timed to coincide with the 62nd relocation of Ise Jingu in Mie Prefecture, this lavish show collects notable works from shrines throughout Japan, a full 160 of which have been designated National Treasures or Important Cultural Properties.
