Kōtoku-in is a renowned Buddhist temple located in Kamakura, Japan, famous for its monumental outdoor bronze statue of Amida Buddha, known as the Great Buddha (Daibutsu). Standing at approximately 13.35 meters (43.8 feet) tall and weighing around 93 tons, the statue dates back to the 13th century and is a significant example of Kamakura period art and craftsmanship. Originally housed in a large wooden hall, the statue has stood in the open air since the building was destroyed by a tsunami in the 15th century.
