This essay, in Chinese, introduces the Buddhist monastery Toshodaiji in Nara city, Japan, a UN world heritage. Toshodaiji monastery was established in the mid-8th century by Monk Jianzhen (Monk Ganjin) who was invited to come to Japan from China. The main theme, however, is on the lotus flowers blooming in July 2000 in its gardens. The method of hollow-body dry lacquer sculpture (脱活乾漆, or 夾紵) used during that period is also described.
