Kamagaya Daibutsu Buddha 鎌ヶ谷大仏


km202-20230113_1673a.jpg

Kamagaya Daibutsu is Japan's smallest Great Buddha bronze statue. Height is 1.8 meter. It has amazingly survived since 1776 when it was commissioned by local merchant Okuniya Fukuda Bun'emon (大国屋福田文右衛門) to memorialize his ancestors. It was made by sculptor Tagawa Shuzen (多川主膳) in Kanda, Tokyo. Same age as the United States of America.
Very near Kamagaya-Daibutsu Station on the Shin-Keisei Line.
