Stone Buddhas in the Kunisaki Peninsula of Japan
Oita Prefecture where about 70% of the prey Buddhas of the whole country exist. There are 400 cliffs in about 90 places. Most of the pregrave Buddhas in the prefecture are left on the Kunisaki Peninsula.
Kumano Agashi Buddha, located in Bungotakada City, Oita Prefecture, has two of the oldest and largest polished Buddhas in the country. The photo shows the "Dainichi Nyorai" with a height of about 6.7m.
The distinctive feature of the cliffs of the Kunisaki Peninsula is the relief-like Buddha that appears on the rock wall. The soft rock walls in the south area of the prefecture, such as Usuki, are suitable for deep engraving, so it looks like they have jumped out of the rock wall. Expressions such as facial expressions and clothes are also clearly clear. The rock walls in the north of the prefecture, including the Kunisaki Peninsula, are very hard, and so the Buddhas in the east of the country were carved.
"Fudo Akira King" located in the same area as Kumano Maikabutsu Buddha "Oinichi Nyorai". This is about 8m in height!
The large-scaled and well-figured majestic Buddha, like the statues of Dainichi Nuri and Fudomei King Buddha of Kumano Magi Buddha, is from the late Heian period to the Kamakura period. It is thought that there is a relationship with the fact that the Buddhist culture of the Tendai secular system has taken root here at this time.
