Those are just the ones that are probably famous enough that a lot of people might know of them, there were probably thousands of others.

The Buddhist display room featured a central work called "Twelve Generals Attending Yakushi-Nyorai." It featured:
- a seated Yakushi-Nyorai (Buddha) surrounded by:
-Protector of the Boar Direction
-Protector of the Rat Direction
-Protector of the Ox Direction
-Protector of the Tiger Direction
-Protector of the Hare Direction
-Protector of the Dragon Direction
-Protector of the Serpent Direction
-Protector of the Horse Direction
-Protector of the Ram Direction
-Protector of the Monkey Direction
-Protector of the Cock Direction
-Protector of the Dog Direction.

All were carved out of single pieces of wood (hinoki cypress) and metal. The Yakushi-Nyorai figure was made in the 11th or 12th century while his 12 protectors were made later in the 14th century.
