14. Daibutsu - The Great Buddha of Kamakura
4 years ago
The Great Buddha of Kamakura is a monumental outdoor bronze statue of Amida Buddha in the Kotoku-in Temple in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is believed that the statue was originally cast in 1252, following an idea by the priest Joko, who also collected donations to build it. The sculptors were One-Goroemon and Tanji-Hisatomo. The statue is approximately 13.35m tall and weighs approximately 93 tons. I had the chance to visit the site several times and was always fascinated by its magnitude; many say it is the most perfect image of the original Buddha. Soundtrack by Parichayaka Hammerl.

    Your HDV reproduction is one of the best I have seen on this site. How did you do that?
    PS I to have been to Kamakura. At that time I made a 8mm movie. How things have changed.

    I did it with my Canon XH A1 and edited it in Final Cut, then compressed H.264 at 5000 bitrate and 1280x720 size. Glad you liked it. I am so fascinated by this Buddha. More of my videos from other countries will follow soon in vimeo.

    Yes, I was inside, but it was not so stuffy, although I like the Buddha much better from outside!
