In the eleven years from 743 to 754, Jianzhen attempted to visit Japan some six times, arriving in the year 753 and founding Tōshōdai-ji in Nara. When he finally succeeded on his sixth attempt, he had lost his eyesight as a result of an infection acquired during his journeys, although Fukushima Giichi, a Japanese expert in the history of ophthalmology, suggested that he may have suffered from age related cataracts .
