DescriptionKofukuji’s Central Golden Hall enshrines a seated Shaka Nyorai as its principal image. Seated at the center of the reconstructed hall, the Buddha has the calm presence of an image supporting one of Nara’s central temple complexes. The ordered arrangement of surrounding figures conveys not so much display as the accumulation of structure and prayer. It is a Buddhist site where visitors can touch the core of a faith preserved through Kofukuji’s long history of loss and renewal.
