The Nandaimon Gate
The Nandaimon Gate which stands at the Tōdaiji temple entrance in Nara, Japan, is the largest gate of its kind in Japan, with the two guardians within known as the two kings of Tōdaiji.
Tōdaiji was once one of Japan’s Seven Great Temples, it houses the world’s largest bronze Buddha. As one of the main sites of interest in Nara, the Temple was originally built in 752 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I stitched two shots to create this photo, and no, I was never tempted to remove the people from this shot. Below is a photo of the Tōdaiji Temple with a partial view of the visitors for perspective.
