Kamakura's Daibutsu (Great Buddha), the 2nd largest in Japan (Bronze, 850 tonnes, 11.4 m tall, completed 1252; the building that housed it was washed away by a tsunami in 1495). My friend and colleague Nobuhiro Furuyama and his wife Akiko stand with me in the foreground (photo by Mr. Hayashi, one of Nobu's students).
