Tōdai-ji is a Buddhist temple complex that was once one of the powerful Seven Great Temples, in Nara. Though it was originally founded in the year 738 CE, Tōdai-ji was not opened until the year 752 CE.  And when background information is presented like that, it’s easier to understand why our eyes glaze over quickly — meaning no disrespect whatever to the temple itself.  Unused old postcard.  Grade: 1
