Ushiku Daibutsu 2083 Kunocho, Ushiku, Ibaraki 300-1288, Japan Last Updated: 08/04/2024 |
| Towering at a massive 120 meters, the Ushiku Daibutsu in Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is one of the world's tallest Buddha statues. For comparison, Nara's Daibutsu in Todaiji Temple is only 15 meters high and can fit in the palm of the Ushiku Daibutsu. | |
| The bronze statue's height is symbolic of the twelve kinds of light that radiate from the Buddha and reach all in the world who recite his name as espoused by the True Pure Land sect of Japanese Buddhism. | |
