Especially, Todai-ji Temple was given heavy damage; most of major buildings including the statue of Birushana Buddha were lost, and all but those apart from the center such as Hokke-do Hall, Nigatsudo Temple, Tengaimon (literally, "the gate of shifting the evil") and Shoso-in Treasure Repository burned to the ground.
特に東大寺は東大寺盧舎那仏像など主要建築物の殆どを失い、中心より離れた法華堂と二月堂・転害門・正倉院以外は全て灰燼に帰するなど大打撃を蒙った。
