Abstract
This paper considers the appreciation education example of the Kofukuji Ashura and attempts systematization of Buddha statue appreciation teaching methods. It categorizes three aspects of the character of Buddha statues: religious object, sculpture, and cultural resource, and classifies seven types of purpose, contents, and method of Buddha statue appreciation teaching and Buddha statue elements. It also confirms and systematizes the three-pillar structure of Buddha statue appreciation teaching. Comparison with practice examples, confirmed the effectiveness in the design and analysis of the class. I suggested that the class treat the figure when a Buddha statue was made as a possibility.
