After the Tōdai-ji was attacked and burned during the Genpei War, a special office of restoration was founded, and the Tōdai-ji became an important artistic center.
Po to, kai per Gempei karą buvo užpultas ir sudegintas Todai-dži, buvo įkurtas specialus restauracijos biuras ir Todai-dži tapo svarbiu meno centru.
