The main hall of Todaiji Temple in Nara, Japan. This massive hall was the largest wooden building in the world until 1998 and houses the largest bronze Buddha in the world.

Sorry for the lack of update this week.  It is my week to update, but I am busy with a new job and moving into a new apartment.  Once things settle down next week, we should be updating as usual again.

In the meantime, here is a preview of my next post, where we will go back to our series on Nara.
