| wandering around kamakura | | 2008-03-24 00:00:00 | |
ah, walking along the lazy back streets of western kamakura... never know what you might find...
like, for example, at approximately:
35°18'53.21"N
139°31'47.94"E
tucked just slightly back into the wooded area, is one of the tens of caves around the kamakura area. though i haven't explored the cave quite yet (when i found it i hadn't any of the appropriate equipment), i reckon i wll return there again sometime-- hopefully before it starts getting too hot and the insects start waking up again!

Then, do you know the second largest Daibutsu in Japan?The Daibutsu meditates silently close to my living place, Kamakura in Kanagawa prefecture. The name Daibutsu is commonly known by “Kawakura-no-Daibutsu(鎌倉の大仏)”, Buddha in Kamakura and also called “Hase-no-Daibutsu(長谷の大仏)” because the place the Daibutsu is in is Hase.

At first, the construction started in 1238 and finished 1243, and the Daibutsu was wooden, so it was totally destroyed with a storm soon, in 1247. The Daibutsu was constructed again with bronze in 1252, and it completed in several years.The Daibutsu has 11.39 meters high.
