🇯🇵 [Nara Prefecture] Let's go see the Great Buddha at Todaiji Temple!

🇯🇵【Nara Prefecture】Let's go see the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple! Let's go see the Great Buddha! (^^) Founded at the request of Emperor Shomu, who promoted the creation of a nation centered on Buddhism. The construction of the Great Buddha was a major national project, and in 752 (4th year of Tenpyo Shoho), a ceremony to open the eyes of the Great Buddha was held with great pomp. In 1180 (4th year of Jisho), most of the temple buildings were burned down in the burning of Nanto by Taira Shigehira, but it was rebuilt thanks to the fundraising efforts of the monk Jogen!
