In the Nara period, there was a large Buddhist temple including the Great Buddha Hall (Kon-do Hall) at the center and two Nanajunoto (seven-story pagodas; estimated height 100m) on the east and the west sides, but most of the buildings were burned in two fires caused by wars after the Kamakura period. 奈良時代には中心堂宇の大仏殿(金堂)のほか、東西2つの七重塔(推定高さ約100メートル)を含む大伽藍が整備されたが、中世以降、2度の兵火で多くの建物を焼失した。 |
