Buddhist Monuments in the Horyu-ji Area
World Heritage
Japan
🎧 Listen to Introduction
There are about 48 Buddhist monuments in the Horyu-ji area of Nara Prefecture. Several of these were built in the late 7th or early 8th century, making them some of the oldest surviving wooden structures in the world. These masterpieces of wooden architecture are important not only for art history, as they show how Chinese Buddhist architecture and layout were adapted to Japanese culture, but also for religious history, as they were built at the same time that Buddhism was introduced to Japan from China via the Korean Peninsula.
