Rudyard Kipling wrote that in the Buddha of Kamakura we see the "soul of the East". Without going that far, the august bronze statue enthroned in the open air in the Kōtoku-in is a symbol of Japan. It dates from 1252, measures 13,3 m and weighs 93 t. It is not usual to see a Buddha of this size outside. It was originally indoors, like the Buddha of Nara, but the pavilion was destroyed by a tsunami in 1498, and since then the Amida Buddha has been sitting in the sun.
