Daibutsu = big buddha

The 48-meter-high Kyoto Daibutsu was built during the reign of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598), and construction reportedly took only three years (as compared to the 20 years needed for the Nara Daibutsu). It was damaged in an earthquake in 1596, and then destroyed by a temple fire in 1602. A small wooden substitute is all that remains of this once spectacular landmark.
