Nara has been the cradle of Japanese culture since ancient times, especially in craft, literature and industry. Buddhism first flourished in Nara because Nara was sheltered by successive emperors. In 752 AD, the Buddha statue in Dongda Temple brought the influence of Buddhism to its peak. The temples in Nara can be said to be museums because they have many priceless Buddha statues and many excellent works of art left over from ancient times.
