Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

This stereograph entitled No.301 Daibuts-Statue in Kamakura is thought to have been taken in the beginning of the Meiji Period because there are bronze lotus petals in front of the statue. The stone paved approach is the same as that in photograph #5372. The monument in the photograph, which carries the inscription Donated Stone Pavement was made in 1780, so it is likely that this stone pavement was laid at the same time.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Wilhelm Burger, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number70‐22‐0]

                      The Daibutsu is an Amidanyorai with a gentle expression like that of a woman. The poet Yosano Akiko praised this Buddha,writing how handsome he looks in one of her poems, but since it is an Amidanyorai, it is a matter of course that the face looks like that of a woman.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number11‐26‐0]
