350 hours of total filming! Faithfully reproducing the texture of the resplendent Buddha statues
From the perspective of preserving and passing on valuable cultural properties, we have conducted over 97,000 high-resolution digital shots and unprecedented large-scale 3D shape measurements of the entire Danjo Garan to meticulously capture its appearance. The textures, including gold leaf and lacquer, are realistically reproduced using TOPPAN's unique technology.
Normally Closed to the Public! Special Viewing of the West Pagoda Interior with Beautiful Ceiling Paintings
As a unique VR experience, you can enjoy a special viewing of the normally closed West Pagoda. Not only can you clearly see the Kongokai Dainichi Nyorai, usually obscured by the dim natural light on-site, but you can also take your time to appreciate the beautiful ceiling paintings richly depicting phoenixes, dragons, and seasonal plants.
Removing the Roof of the Great Pagoda! A View of the Great Pagoda from Perspectives Unseen in Reality
As a unique VR experience, you can enjoy a view from above by removing the roof of the Great Pagoda. This allows you to clearly understand how Kōbō-Daishi Kūkai arranged the various Buddhas in the Great Pagoda.
