All together now: Visitors admire Buddhist statues at the Sanjusangendo temple hall in Kyoto, where all the temple’s 1,001 standing Senju Kannon statues have been placed together for the first time in 26 years. Each about 5 feet tall, the statues were made from the end of the Heian period (late eighth century to late 12th century) to the Muromachi period (early 14th century to late 16th century). They will be on view through Nov. 26.
