Description
In 747 Empress Komyo had this temple built to help heal her ailing husband, Emperor Shomu. Unfortunately, by the end of the Nara era only the main hall had escaped damage by fire. National treasure status has been given to the temple's collection of 12 Yakushi (who guard the medicinal Buddha), together with the main hall itself, an example of aesthetically pleasing architecture in the Tempyo style.
