Todai-Ji - Nara - 東大寺 - 4K Ultra HD

Being one of Japan and Nara’s most famous landmarks and temples, Todai-ji attracts thousands of worshipers and tourists each year. It was constructed in 752 as the head temple of all provincial Buddhist temples of Japan.
Todai-ji (also known as Todaiji) Daibutusden (Big Buddha Hall) not only features one of Japan's largest bronzes statues of Buddha (15m tall), but is also known today as being the world's largest wooden building, despite the fact that it is actually a 1/3 smaller reconstruction (1692-1709) than the original!

The same applies to the Nandaimon (Great South Gate), which is in fact a reconstruction (in the 12th century) of the original gate. However this time the gate was rebuilt to scale.

Nara, an ancient capital of Japan - Heijyo Empire Palace's South Gate 'Suzaku Mon' cl

Nara, an ancient capital of Japan - Heijyo Empire Palace's South Gate 'Suzaku Mon' closing ceremony. 2014

Unkei's Fudo Myo-o (運慶の不動明王)

Sculpted in 1186 while the Kei school was bidding on the commission for replacing the statuary at the Todaiji in Nara, these relatively early works of Unkei are located at the Ganjojuin in the Shizuoka Prefecture. Fudo and his two boy attendants, Seitaka Doji (with the fierce expression) and Kongara Doji (with the innocent expression) were carved at a time when Unkei was receiving commissions to produce statuary for warring samurai classes in Eastern Japan.

Some scholars believe that these smaller commissions for feuding clans away from home strongly influenced the development of Unkei's strong masculine and bold style, which had been relatively unseen in the Nara region. About ten years later, the Kei school finally won the commission from the Todaiji, and in 1203 Unkei and Kaikei produced the most famous extant statues of the Kamakura Era, the Nio Guardians at the Todai-ji's Great South Gate.

Todaiji Temple, Nara Japan. Храм Тодайдзи, Нара Япония.

“The origins of Tōdai-ji lie in a temple called Kinshō-ji which was founded in 728 for the repose of the spirit of Crown Prince Motoi, son of Emperor Shōmu (r. 724-749). In 741 when the Emperor issued his edict ordering the construction of a national system of monasteries (Kinkōmyō-ji) known as the Kokubun-ji, Kinshō-ji was elevated in status. In 743 Emperor Shōmu issued his proclamation for the erection of a Great Buddha Image and when the capital was returned to Heijō (Nara) construction of the colossal image of Vairocana was begun on the grounds of the Kinkōmyō-ji and was completed in 749. Construction of the Great Buddha Hall took place concurrently and the image was dedicated in 752 with a lavish consecration ceremony. Subsequently the Office for the Construction of Tōdai-ji supervised the building of the West and East Pagodas, the Lecture Hall and Monks’ Quarters to complete the temple complex.
Because Tōdai-ji was the chief temple in the Kokubun-ji system, it was a center for rituals for the peace of the nation and the prosperity of the people; it also functioned, however, as a center for the training of scholar monks who studied Buddhist doctrine.

In 855 the head of the Great Buddha fell off in a major earthquake. The image was quickly restored. In subsequent years fires and lightning destroyed the Lecture Hall, the Monks’ Quarters and the West Pagoda. In 1180 more than half of the compound including the Great Buddha Hall was destroyed in the fire that resulted from the attack on the Nara temples by Taira no Shigehira. In the next year restoration of the temple was begun by the monk Chōgen (1121-1206) and in 1185 the Great Buddha was consecrated. In the following year the Province of Suō (Yamaguchi Prefecture) was designated to provide income for the reconstruction of Tōdai-ji and the pace of the work increased. Ten years later the Great Buddha Hall was completed. As the temple was reconstructed scholastic activities which had been stagnant were also revived and during the Kamakura period (1185-1333) the temple trained many scholar-monks.

In 1567, however, the temple burned again during a skirmish between the Miyoshi and Matsunaga clans, and the only structures not burned were the Nigatsu-dō, Hokke-dō, Great South Gate, Tegai-mon Gate, Shōsō-in and the Bell Tower. Because the country was at war, restoration was extremely difficult and the only repairs that could be made were to cover the head of the Great Buddha with copper sheathing. Finally in the mid-Edo period the monk Kōkei (1648-1705) petitioned the shogunal government for permission to solicit donations throughout the land and to seek the assistance of some powerful warlords and thus a proper restoration was finally begun. As a result of these efforts, the present Great Buddha was consecrated in 1692 and the Great Buddha Hall was dedicated In 1709.

After the start of the Meiji period in 1868 edicts legislating the separation of Shinto and Buddhist religious establishments and the confiscation of temple lands threatened the existence of Tōdai-ji. Nevertheless, the temple managed to carry out major repairs to the Great Buddha Hall at the start of this century and again in the 1970s and has striven to preserve the extensive compound with all its structures. Tōdai-ji today preserves many precious cultural treasures from the temple’s past, yet it also is a treasure house of traditional Buddhist rituals such as the Shuni-e held at the Nigatsu-dō. Many people from throughout Japan and the world visit the temple to worship and pay their respects every year.”

Todaiji Temple, Nara ☆ 東大寺 ☆ Japan As It Truly Is

If you only had time to visit just one temple in all of Japan, then THIS SHOULD BE THE PLACE. Todaiji is just mind blowing.
Seriously, missing this place would be like going to India and skipping the Taj Mahal.
Todaiji was completed in 752 A.D. when Nara was the capital of Japan (710-794 A.D.) to house the 550 ton Great Buddha, which used up nearly all the country's available bronze. The total cost of constructing the statue nearly bankrupted the country. The Todaiji you see here is actually the 2nd reconstruction and completed in 1709 - the original was actually about a third BIGGER than what this mammoth building is. The statue as well as had to have been rebuilt, the head is the 2nd reconstruction and made in the Edo Period (1615–1867) and the hands were reconstructed in the Momoyama Period (1568–1615).
Approaching Todaiji, you pass through the Nandaimon or South Gate, which was finished at the end of the 12th Century, copying the Chinese Song Dynasty style. There are two 28 foot Nio guards, the Agyo and Ungyo. Inside the Daibutsuden is the Great Buddha, other statues, a scale model of the original complex over 1200 years ago, one of the original hands, and a hole in one pillar, said to be the same size as one of the statue's nostrils. If you can squeeze your butt through it, it is said you will attain enlightenment in your next life.
Some people never make it to Nara in spite of traveling in the area - don't be one of them!

VISIT Todaiji Temple in Nara Japan

Nara's star attraction is the famous Daibutsu (Great Buddha), centrepiece of this grand temple on the Unesco World Heritage List, with origins going back to AD 728. The Daibutsu statue itself is one of the largest bronze figures in the world and was originally cast in 746. The present statue, recast in the Edo period, stands just over 16m high and consists of 437 tonnes of bronze and 130kg of gold.

The Daibutsu is housed in Tōdai-ji's Daibutsu-den (大仏殿, Great Buddha Hall), which itself is the largest wooden building in the world. Incredibly, the present structure, rebuilt in 1709, is a mere two-thirds of the size of the original. Except for the Daibutsu-den, most of Tōdai-ji's grounds can be visited free of charge.

Kyoto Japan is very famous because of its several Buddhist temples, shrines, traditional wooden houses and gardens.

Our Kyoto Destinations
* Fushimi Inari Shrine - it is the head shrine of the Kami Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture. This shrine is also famous because of its thousands of tori gates that are donated by the old Japanese businessmen for the luck of their business. Yeah! They are the reason why this shrine is beautiful. Gotta be thankful to them.

They enjoy socializing and playing with people. When you visit this park, you should bring a biscuit or any delicious snack for their treats. They are also kid-friendly, so your children can actually play with them. Bow with them, feed them, pet them. Just don't bring them home with you.
