[Nagasaki University Library, Catalog Number : 2811] Condition: Near fine. The Great Buddha of Nofukuji Temple (present-day Hyogo Ward) taken in the latter half of the Meiji Period. This is an important Tendai Sect temple and is a place remembered in connection with Taira Kiyomori, who traded with Sung Dynasty China in the latter part of the Heian Period. After the opening of the port of Kobe, Christianity gained popularity. This statue of Vairocana Buddha, approximately 12 meters (40 feet) high, was unveiled on March 15, 1891 as part of an effort to revive Buddhism. The statue attracted people to the faith and gained fame among foreigners as well.
