Kamakura Daibutsu - art. Buddhism was introduced to Japan in ad 539, when a Korean ruler sought an alliance with the ruler of Yamato in Japan. To please the Japanese, the Korean ruler sent a statue of the Buddha and some Buddhist scriptures, which he described as the greatest treasures he could send. The Daibutsu (Great Buddha) figure at Kamakura, Japan, was cast in bronze in 1252. The figure depicts Amitabha (also known as Amida Buddha) in perfect repose and passionless calm. SuperStock
