It houses the largest bronze depiction of the Vairocana Buddha. Slightly smaller than its original form. Two layers of hip and gable roof covered in ceramic roof tile, separated by a floor of ornate brown wooden rafters and white plaster walls. The top most roof ridge is decorated with two gilded bronze fish ornaments. The bottom floor is larger, with massive wooden doors, white plaster walls, and lattices that open up to reveal the great buddha's face. A monument to the endurance of the Japanese spirit. This complex has been rebuilt from fires, earthquakes, war, abandonment, etc. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Image 1:<span class="mw-page-title-main">Todai-ji Daibutsu-den Hall National Treasure 国宝東大寺大仏殿60.JPG</span> (<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Todai-ji_Daibutsu-den_Hall_National_Treasure_%E5%9B%BD%E5%AE%9D%E6%9D%B1%E5%A4%A7%E5%AF%BA%E5%A4%A7%E4%BB%8F%E6%AE%BF60.JPG">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Todai-ji_Daibutsu-den_Hall_National_Treasure_%E5%9B%BD%E5%AE%9D%E6%9D%B1%E5%A4%A7%E5%AF%BA%E5%A4%A7%E4%BB%8F%E6%AE%BF60.JPG)</a><br />Image 2:IMG_1794.JPG<br />Image 3:IMG_1783.JPG License A legal document giving official permission to do something with the resource.
