The Great Shakyamuni Buddha statue in Kizugawa, Japan, which is estimated to be over 1,300 years old, is one of the country's most important cultural and historical landmarks. It stands 2.4 meters tall and weighs 2,172 kilograms. The statue is made of bronze, and its current color is not its original form, as it was once covered with gold. It is one of four massive gilded bronze statues still existing in Japan. The statue is housed in Kōkubonjii Temple, established in the 8th century as part of an imperial project to promote Buddhism and bring protection and stability to the country. The monument attracts thousands of tourists and researchers from around the world, and is considered a cultural treasure that showcases the development of ancient Japanese art and sculpture.
