For example, in 2001 the National Gallery of Canada returned a sculpture of an arhat (a monk who has attained Nirvana) taken from the Longmen Grottoes. Japan's Miho Museum has agreed that in four years it will return a stone boddhisattva from Shandong, which it purchased for 100 million yen.
包括加拿大國家美術館曾在前年歸還一尊龍門石窟的羅漢雕像；日本美秀美術館也確定在四年後，要歸還一尊一億日圓購得的山東石造菩薩立像。
