Famous Temple and Statue.

Since about the year 752 the grand
ceremony OF Kaigen, or opening the
spiritual eye OF the statue" has been
celebrated but i've times at the temple
commonly known as the Daibutsu Of
Nara, at Tokyo. The original statue
has suffered grievOusly since 752
Once, In SIS, the head dropped on.
Since then 1t has suffered twice from
fire. and upon each occasion the head
was destroyed. The statue In its SIT
ting posture measures ffty-three and a
half feet, the length Of the face being
sixteen feet The two BOdhisattvas
hanking the Daibutsu are as high as
thirty feet. The temple is 1SS feet In
frontage and 100 feet In depth and is
known as the largest wooden building
In Japan. though II is much smaller
than the original, built LOO years ago.
1t was not built to protect the statue
from being exposed to the weather,
but the statue was made to enshrine
as the chief figure OF the temple.
