On May 18, 2004, the 144th NHK episode of "Project X" focused on the restoration of the twin 28-foot-tall wooden statues at the Todaiji in Nara, Japan. These Kongo Rikishi -- called Ungyo (w/ closed mouth) and Agyo (w/ open mouth) -- were sculpted in 1203 by a team of less than twenty people in a little over two months time, under the direction of master Japanese sculptors Unkei and Kaikei. This television special documents the first time in nearly 800 years that these statues were removed from their dedicated place at the Todaiji's gate, and disassembled for cleaning.
