Day 17 - Toshodaiji Temple
We have been busy with practical training the past fews days, documenting and recording an old farm house in Nara. Nearby is Toshodaiji Temple - another one of the "Big 8" important temples in Nara.
Toshodaiji is currently under reconstruction. This means that a huge scaffolding building is erected around the temple, then it is mehtodically taken to bits, numbered, assessed, repaired if need be, and put back together.
Our group photo here provides an opportunity to see the roof structure in detail - a view that is available once every 300 years or so...
