Takaoka Great Buddha in Daibutsuji Temple
Gifu Great Buddha in Shoboji Temple

Although there is no consensus, there are several opinions. One of them is the statue of Buddha in Takaoka, another is in Gifu. Takaoka’s statue has roughly 16 meters height and 63 tons built in 1745.

On the other hand, Gifu ones has about 14 meters height built in 1832.
Three other statues of Buddha were made of copper, while this one is made of Washi Japanese paper and dry lacquer.
It’s unique.

Which one do you support?

3番目の大仏はどれでしょうか。
総意はないものの、複数の意見があります。
その一つが、高岡大仏と岐阜大仏です。
高岡大仏は、1745年創建で、高さ16メートル、重さ63トンです。

一方の岐阜大仏は、1832年創建で高さ14メートルあります。
他の三つの仏像が銅製であるのに対して、岐阜の大仏は、和紙に漆を塗った乾漆仏です。
珍しいですね。

どちらを推しますか。
