Tiny passageway at the base of a column - Nara, Japan
Tiny passageway at the base of a column within the Todai-ji (Eastern Great Temple), a Buddhist temple complex located in the city of Nara, Japan. Because of the immense scale of this building, no single trees were large enough to form the massive columns. In one case, a section of a column was omitted so children or small persons may crawl through to be blessed with enlightenment in the next life. As adults, most cannot make a repeat passage. Date: circa 1910. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection

A Tiny Passageway to Enlightenment: A Journey Through Time at Todai-ji Temple, Nara, Japan This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases a unique and intriguing passageway at the base of a column within the Todai-ji Temple complex in Nara, Japan. The Todai-ji Temple, also known as the Eastern Great Temple, is a renowned Buddhist temple that dates back to the 8th century. The immense scale of this architectural marvel left the builders with a challenge: no single trees were large enough to form the massive columns. In one instance, a section of a column was intentionally omitted, creating a tiny passageway just large enough for children or small persons to crawl through. This passageway, steeped in history and tradition, offers a unique and humbling religious experience. As adults, most are unable to make a repeat passage through this narrow space. This photograph captures the essence of the journey, with the sandals and ut (a traditional Japanese carrying pole) of the assisted individual adding a sense of authenticity to the scene. This image invites us to reflect on the rich history and cultural significance of the Todai-ji Temple complex, as well as the enduring traditions of Buddhism and the pursuit of enlightenment. The passageway serves as a reminder that even the smallest of spaces can hold great meaning and significance in our lives.
