This is the representative
temple of the Nara period and its Daibutsu-den, or Great Buddha's Hall,
is the largest wooden structure in the world. In the 15th year of the
Tempyo era (743), the Emperor Shomu issued an Imperial edict to cast a
great image of Buddha, more technically Buddha Vairocana. This temple
was built with an all-out effort to concentrate national power on this
Imperial order so that the image could be enshrined. In the 4th year of
the Tempyo-Shoho era (752), the main hall was completed.More temple buildings
were constructed one after another. And it took 40 years to successfully
complete the construction of all the edifices in the precincts.
