More Kamakura



When we attended the yabusame at Kamakura, we also went to see some nearby sites. The Kamakura Daibutsu is the second largest bronze Buddha in Japan. It was cast in 1252 and was in a temple but the temple was washed away by a giant tsunami in the 1600's. He is about 13.5 meters tall. I'm surprised by the little mustache that snakes around his lips!
