Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

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]
