Todaiji Temple in Nara, Japan – Watercolour Painting by Surrey Landscape Artist Jacqui Slade
Artist: Jacqui Slade
Todaiji Temple in Nara, Japan
Todaiji Great Eastern Temple is one of Japan’s most famous and historically significant temples and a landmark of Nara.
The temple was constructed in 752 as the head temple of all provincial Buddhist temples of Japan. Todaiji’s main hall, the Daibutsuden (Big Buddha Hall) is the world’s largest wooden building, despite the fact the present reconstruction of 1692 is only two thirds of the original temple hall’s size.
The massive building houses one of Japan’s largest bronze statues of Buddha (Daibutsu). The 15m tall, seated Buddha represents Vairocana and is flanked by two Bodhisattvas. The Kagamiike (“Mirror Pond”) is in the foreground.

About The Artist
My work has covered a wide range of subjects and styles, including landscape, marine, architectural, portraiture and fantasy, using watercolour, acrylic, gouache, or mixed media. Variety has been an essential part of my work, with equal opportunities for a disciplined study or a creative self-expression.
I now work mainly on art commissions using watercolour or acrylic and would be happy to discuss your specific requirements.
