The Great Buddha, Kamakura, Japan


The Great Buddha of Kamakura. This colossal figure of Amitabha Buddha is 13.35 meters (43.8 ft) tall including the base. Completed around 1252, it resided in a series of destroyed and rebuilt wooden halls until a tsunami swept the last one away in 1498. It has sat in the open air ever since.
