Toshodai-ji Temple was founded by Tang Dynasty's Priest Ganjin
in the 3rd year of Tempyo-hoji era (759). The name of the temple is derived
from the word "Shodai" meaning the Buddhist training site shared with an
Enlightened Person, or Ganjin, who came to Japan from the Tang Dynasty.
The temple precincts with various halls including the Lecture Hall, the
Treasure House, and the Golden Hall nicknamed "Tempyo Tiled Roofs" are
vividly reminiscent of the Tempyo style architecture.
