Officially known as the Statue of the Vairocana Buddha, this structure took some 30 years to complete, starting in 743, when Emperor Shomu first ordered the construction of this bronze Buddha. Thanks to many repairs, it has survived despite numerous earthquakes and wars. In 1998, the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple was named a world heritage site by UNESCO, as one of the historic monuments of ancient Nara. This giant Buddha figure has a sitting height of 1498 cm, of which the head alone accounts for 533 cm.
