Rudyard Kipling wrote that the Buddha of Kamakura was "the soul of the Orient". Without going that far, the august bronze statue enthroned in the open air of Kōtoku-in is a symbol of Japan. It dates from 1252, measures 13.3 m and weighs 93 t. It's unusual to see a Buddha of this size outdoors. It was originally indoors, like the Nara Buddha, but the pavilion was destroyed by a tsunami in 1498. Since then, Amida Buddha has sat in the sun.
