Daibutsu, Kamakura

Daibutsu, Kamakura
Daibutsu in Kamakura, June 2010. There were thousands of school kids visiting that day. It was still great fun.

Green Buddha and Faceless Buddha

I love how many old Buddhist statues in Japan become weathered or moss covered. It really adds to the character of the old statues.  Below are two statues, possibly Jizo Bodhisattva's, from a temple in Otawara, Tochigi-ken. My favorite is the moss covered green Jizo.




This is my entry in this weeks Show Me Japan. Please click on the photo below to see more great Japan photos at Budget Trouble.
