Buseoksa Temple in Seosan has been claiming ownership of the Goryeo Buddha statue, which was stolen from Kannonji in 2012 by a group of thieves, on the basis that it is a heritage item that was looted by Japanese pirates in the past. Researchers estimate that the Buseoksa Temple Buddha statue was looted by Japanese pirates around 1378, in the 14th century.
However, the Korean Supreme Court ruled in October last year that ownership of the Buddha statue belongs to Japan.
. The Supreme Court ruled that ownership of the Buddha statue was normally transferred to Gannonji according to the legal principle of ‘acquisition prescription’, which states that even if it is someone else’s object, ownership has been transferred if the object has been occupied for a certain period of time without problems.
These bastards are giving up the statute of limitations on acquiring evictees, right??
Oh, and this should just be compensated by a large Japanese company for Kannonji.
Be satisfied with what you have so far and take the money lol.
Fuck you, Korea lol
