Chion-in established the “Cultural Properties Conservation Fund” in 2022. Chion-in holds 10,000 cultural properties including sutras, Buddhist statues, paintings, historical documents, and buildings. In order to pass them on to the future, the “CHION-IN Cultural Property Conservation Fund” was established.
