Down to the wire, but I think you can guess it. You're very close.

A20: NO!
Too bad! Almost close enough to taste.
I was thinking of a different Buddhist temple, Toudaiji, East Great Temple,
located in Nara, Japan. It is one of the largest wooden structures in the
world (THE largest until not too long ago). Construction was begun in A.D.
728. The main hall houses the world's largest bronze statue of Buddha.

I was inspired by the rarity of vegetable targets in our game, and by
the previous target, a bothy, which in spite of having being a building
in common with Toudaiji, is classified as mineral on the first question
due to the selection of materials.

Ohh! unlucky! It was a toss up between the two temples. One the oldest wooden
building in Japan, and the other the largest. Oh for one more question!
That was a good one papa! :)

Yes. I'm pretty sure question 21 would have got it.
As tfurrows suggested on party, I can pass the answerer shoe to nydel for
round 10. If he'd prefer not to, we can have a volunteer, or I can think of
another.

Maybe we can wait for nydel to answer, but it is your shout, as they say.
