The Great Buddha of Kamakura (Diabutsu) is one of the icons and the second largest Buddha in Japan. It has impressive height of over 13 m and 93 tons of weight. It is located on the grounds of Kotokuin Buddhist temple of the Pure Land sect.

This bronze statue was built in the 13th century inside of the temple, but the temple was destroyed in the 15th century by tsunami and since then it stands outside.
