History

The Nihon Shoki records the founding of the Kudara Dai-ji (百済大寺?), predecessor of the Daian-ji, in 639 during the reign of Emperor Jomei. A nine story pagoda was added shortly afterwards.[1] Moved during the reign of Emperor Temmu, excavations have uncovered the foundations of the site of the Daikandai-ji (大官大寺?), as it was then known, seven hundred metres to the south of Mount Kagu.[2] Like the Yakushi-ji, and Gangō-ji, the temple relocated to the new capital of Heijō-kyō in 716/7, and it was rebuilt as the Daian-ji in 729.[3] Its importance declined when the capital moved again to Kyoto at the end of the Nara period. A succession of fires, a typhoon in 1459 and earthquakes in 1585 and 1596 destroyed most of the temple.[4] The stone bases of the former twin pagodas were removed for reuse at Kashihara Jingū in 1889,[5] while the ruins of the other buildings lie in adjacent properties.[3]

Treasures

The temple houses nine statues in a style known as Daianji-yoshiki, but the acclaimed statue of Sakyamuni, said by the twelfth-century Oe no Chikamichi in Shichidaiji Junrei Shiki to have been the finest work in Nara, is now lost.[3][6] The following Nara period statues have been designated as Important Cultural Properties: a Jūichimen Kannon,[7] Senjū Kannon,[8] Fukūkensaku Kannon,[9] Yōryū Kannon,[10] Shō Kannon,[11] and a set of Four Heavenly Kings.[12] Temple records of the Tenpyō era (747) have also been designated an Important Cultural Property and are now held in Chiba Prefecture.[13]
