Postcard Greetings from the Todaiji temple

12/1/2020

Nara's star attraction is its Daibutsu (Great Buddha), one of the largest bronze statues in the world. It was unveiled in 752, upon the completion of the Daibutsu-den (大仏殿, Great Buddha Hall), built to house it. Both have been damaged over the years; the present statue was recast in the Edo period. The Daibutsu-den 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 - Todaiji Temple, Nara, Japan

I have many dreams that I want to do and to go another country is one of my dreams. We all should be dedicated enough to pursue that wish that our heart desires for we know that it is also a fulfillment for us. This post talks about the famous temple called Toaiji temple. I want to see it in a closer look and I want to capture it with my camera. I know that it will be a great place to spend my vacation. I will do my best to achieve this goal.
