Description
a vibrant structure of the Todai-ji Buddhist Temple compound in the city of Nara. The Todai-ji website says, “The name Nigatsu-d?, or Second Month Hall is derived from the fact that the Shuni-e Ceremony is held here during the second month of the lunar calendar. The structure is said to have been first erected by the monk Jitch? (fl. 760-820), R?ben’s chief disciple. In 1667, however, a fire broke out inside the hall in the midst of the ceremony, and the original was destroyed. The present building is a reconstruction of 1669.”
