The majestic Phoenix Hall at Byodo-in Temple in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, was unveiled on Thursday after a year’s worth of major repairs and restoration.The Amida-do hall, famed for its picturesque façade that is reflected in the pond in front of the hall, underwent a series of renovations, including repainting columns, replacing roof bricks and restoring its phoenix statues.The completion of restoration work signifies the return of the “spirit” to the seated statue of Amitabha Tathagata.“The history of Byodo-in is also a history of repairs,” Monsho Kamii, the head priest of Byodo-in, said after a special ceremony to celebrate the temple’s reopening.

Japanese government and industry leaders braced for premeditated hacking attacks in an extensive cyber security drill, the first for the country as it gears up to host the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.Around 50 cyber defense specialists gathered at an emergency response center in Tokyo to dodge simulated attacks across 21 state ministries and agencies and 10 industry associations, said Ikuo Misumi, a hacking expert at Japan’s state-run National Information Security Center.“It’s not that we haven’t put effort into cyber security, but we are certainly behind the US,” Ichita Yamamoto, the cabinet minister in charge of IT policy and is leading the effort to boost cyber security, said in an interview with Reuters.
