Camellia Tea CeremonyIn 747 the casting of the Great Buddha (大仏) began in Nara after fire and earthquakes ruined the first attempt in Shigaraki.
It took 6 years in total (745-51) to complete the Daibutsu. Casting alone took 3 years and used all the available bronze, almost bankrupting the country.

This is maybe a accidental shot, all #fuzzy and #blurry, or maybe a bad shot due to #lowlight, but the power of the statue still speaks.
Inside the #Daibutsuden, the #woodenstatue of #Kōmokuten (#広目天), one of the #FourHeavenlyKings (#四天王), as recognizable by their #WritingBrush and #scroll.
Probably taken on New year's eve 2012, when the Daibutsuden is open all night for free.
