Kamakura, Gigantic japanese
Idol, the Largest Known to Exist.
Two miles from Kamakura, and about
twenty miles from Yokohama, in ia
pan, on Il terrace near the temple of
Kamakura, sits the most gigantic idol,
or heather god, now known to exist.
This immense brazen image of deity
was built or made during the reign of
Shomu, who was fOrty-sixth in the
present line of emperorS, and who died
in the year 74S A. D. This idol, which
has been prayed to daily for more than
twelve hundred years by the crowd
of devotees that hourly cluster about
it, is still i'll perfect repair and just
ly reckoned as one of the greatest won
ders of the orient. Frank DobbinS,
who visited Dai-Betsu, and has given
the best description of the gods that
has yet been written, says: 1.-THE di-
mansions of this god are truly colossal.
His height from the base Of the lotus
flower upon which he sits to the top
of his head is GO IL feet, and above this
rises an aureole Il feet wide, above
which again rises for several feet the
fiame-like glory which incloses or arch
es in the whole figure. The space prop
err is 16 feet long; it's width 9 1-2 feet.
The eyes are 3 feet inches long from
corner to corner, the eyebrows 5 IL
feet and the ears IL feet. The chest
is 20 feet in depth, and the middle
finger is exactly 5 feet long. Around
the sides, head and shoulders of the
god, in front of the aureOle, are sixteen
figures, each in a sitting posture and
each s feet in height. The leaves of
the immense lotus upon which the god
sits, are each 10 feet long and feet
wide, there being IS of them in the
cluster. The casting must have been
wonderfully well executed, although the
tineness of the leaf edges and other
parts which l was able to examine
and the elaborate engraving, which can
be still traced upon the flower itself
in the upinjured parts, leave no doubt
that the founders art was supplement-.
ed here and there by artists with file
and graver The right hand is open
and raised upward; the left rests upon
the lap. The image weighs about $50
tons, and is made of combination Of
gold, tin, copper and mercury.
