== Plot ==
In May of the 17th year of Tenpyo, the capital was moved from Shigaraki Omi to Nara, and Emperor Shomu, the emperor of the time, asked for the construction of a large Buddha of five lengths and five shaku for the sake of national peace and happiness for all. Was done. However, in the court, Fujiwara No Nakamaro, who is trying to complete the erection and gain the confidence of the emperor, and the Nara Maro clan of Tachibana, who is trying to dismiss Nakamaro because of the impossibility of erection. The political conflict with him has intensified. Maro Kunichuno, who was appointed as the Secretary of Buddhism, becomes a sculptor of both sides and loses confidence in the construction, but he is disappointed by the priest Gyoki of the time and gets a young genius of sculpture, Tateno Kunijin, as an assistant. I started to build my devotion. The nationals devoted themselves to the design day and night with a young passion and talent, which made her less likely to meet his wild lover Mayu, which made her lonely. As the construction project progressed, the conspiracy to obstruct the Tachibana clan became fierce, and the shrine maiden Omiyanomori was forced to curse the erection, but the prototype of the Great Buddha was successfully completed by the efforts of the nationals. Finally, I started the casting work in Oita with the limit of human power and materials. Mayo was very jealous of the Japanese carving the statue of the beautiful widow Sayako Tachibanano of the former Udaijin. Envious of the talent of the nationals, Shinjo Nokokusu, who has an ambition for Mayo, uses her jealousy to make a mysterious dance, remove the mold of the right hand of the Great Buddha, and make a loud noise and collapse. Due to this camellia, the construction was canceled. However, due to the will of Gyoki Daimonsho, the emperor ordered the resumption of construction again. As the day of the completion of the Great Buddha approached, Tachibana's Nara Maro was very impatient, and on the eve of casting the face of the Great Buddha, the lead lump was mixed into the copper used to cast the face again using Okusu. This way, plating could never be done. When the copper juice that became a fire from the fire on the day began to flow toward the mold on the face, the Japanese people took a change in the color and prevented this flow by themselves, resulting in fatal burns to the whole body. While watching the mold of the face of the Great Buddha completed safely, the nationals said that they were dead, but they died and they wore a white coat on Mayo, and danced madly in the palm of the Great Buddha. ..
