Description
View of stone path leading up to a gate at the Todaiji Temple precinct in Nara, Japan. "In the early 7th century … Buddhism was granted quasi-state recognition status by Japan's imperial court and welcomed among the noble families. Thus a series of temple building projects commenced around the Kansai region, including the cities of Nara and Kyoto. Spectacular complexes were constructed, such as the Todaiji and Horyuji temples, which still exist today,"--Japanese architecture & temple structure, Leon Z. Lee, 8/13/2003 from the Association for Asian Research website.
