It was constructed in 794, around the time when the Great Buddha was built, in order to protect Todaiji Temple. It is also famous for its beautiful autumn leaves, and Sugawara-no Michizane wrote a waka poem, which says "I feel very sorry that I could not even prepare nusa(gift) to offer to the gods for this trip. Instead, I will use these beautiful colored autumn leaves as offerings." The treasure house in azekura-zukuri style(Important Cultural Property) was relocated from Todaiji Temple.
