Introduction to Shoso-in: To the northwest of the Great Buddha Hall of Todaiji Temple is the Treasure Hall of Todaiji Temple. It is a stilted wooden structure with a width of 33 meters, a height of 14 meters and a depth of 9.4 meters. It is divided into three warehouses: north, middle and south. It contains thousands of treasures since Emperor Shomu. It is a unique treasure house in the world. The collections here are large in number and of many types, many of which were imported from China and other parts of Asia. They are of great value to the study of Japan's foreign cultural exchanges at that time.
