EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the awe-inspiring Daibutsu, or Great Buddha, of Kamakura, Japan. The colossal statue, carved from a single piece of bronze and cast in 1252, stands majestically within the Hase-dera Temple complex. The image captures the serene expression and intricate details of the Buddha's features, including the delicate folds of his robe and the peaceful downward gaze of his eyes. The Daibutsu is a significant historical and cultural icon of Japan, representing the fusion of Buddhist and Shinto beliefs during the Kamakura period (1185-1333). It is believed that the statue was commissioned by the shogun (military dictator) Hojo Tokiyori to bring peace and prosperity to the region. The statue was originally housed in a large wooden temple hall, but during a storm in 1498, the hall was destroyed, and the Buddha was left exposed to the elements. Despite being exposed to the elements for over 500 years, the Daibutsu has remained remarkably preserved, thanks to the protective layer of vermilion lacquer and gold leaf that was applied to the statue during the Edo period (1603-1868). The statue measures an impressive 11.3 meters (37 feet) in height and weighs approximately 93 tons. This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the timeless beauty and historical significance of the Daibutsu. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history and cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring power of faith and spirituality.
