Todaiji Daibutsuden (Todaiji Grand Buddha Hall)
〒630-8587 奈良県奈良市雑司町４０６−１
The head temple of the Kegon sect and a Soku Kokubunji (Grand National Temple) established by Emperor Shomu. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for the Daibutsuden (Grand Buddha Hall), which houses the massive Roshana Buddha (Great Buddha).
History
Established during the Nara period by Emperor Shomu using the full resources of the nation, it served as both the Kokubunji (National Temple) of Yamato Province and the Soku Kokubunji (Grand National Temple). Originating as Kinchoji, it was renamed Komyo-ji in the 14th year of Tenpyo (742 CE). The name 'Todaiji' began to be used from around the 19th year of Tenpyo (747 CE). The current Daibutsuden was rebuilt on a reduced scale in the 6th year of Ho'ei (1709 CE) during the mid-Edo period.
