Former Daikandaiji Temple

#naratrip Former Daikandaiji Temple. It appears to have been a huge temple in ancient times, and the remains of pagodas and other structures can be seen around the current temple. It is said that Bodhisena lived in this temple. The day I visited was a special opening day for the Eleven-faced Kannon Statue, the principal Buddhist image, but we were the only ones in the hall, so we were able to take our time to look at the Buddha, but it was a bit humbling to be able to see the Buddha so close. Did. The wooden Buddhist statues from the Nara period, centering on the Fuku Hosaku Kannon statue inside the new treasure hall, were soft and beautiful, making for a wonderful space. I would like to visit again.
