Kaikei's sculpture differs from an older Heian period image that is currently held by Yakushi-ji (also classified as a National Treasure). Whereas the Yakushi-ji Hachiman is a triad image, accompanied by a sculpture of Nakatsuhime and Empress Jingū (as Hachiman is the deification of Emperor Ōjin), Kaikei's sculpture is a solitary image of Hachiman as a monk.
Tōdai-ji has been used as a location in several Japanese films and television dramas. It was also used in the 1950s John Wayne movie The Barbarian and the Geisha when Nandaimon, the Great South Gate, doubled as a city's gates. On May 20, 1994, the international music festival The Great Music Experience was held at Tōdai-ji, supported by UNESCO.

The standing bronze statue of Shaka at Birth (銅造誕生釈迦仏立像, dōzō tanjō Shaka butsu ryūzō) at Tōdai-ji in the city of Nara in Japan, along with the lustration basin in which the image stands, are of the type used in the annual celebrations of the Buddha's birth on 8 April.
The origin of Tōdai-ji's Shōsō-in repository itself dates back to 756, when Empress Kōmyō dedicated over 600 items to the Great Buddha at Tōdai-ji to express her love for her lost husband, Emperor Shōmu, who died 49 days earlier. [4] Her donation was made over five times across several years, then stored at the Shōsō-in.
He was treated with great honour and lodged in the temple called Daian-ji, where he founded Kegon Buddhism and also taught Sanskrit. In 752, Emperor Shōmu asked him to perform the eye-opening ceremony for the giant bronze statue of the Buddha Vairocana built in Tōdai-ji. Dosen also played a significant role.
