Stoned

Incense sticks burn in front of the central Dainichi Nyorai of the Furozono Stone Buddhas, considered one of the finest stone Buddhas in Japan. The statue’s head, fallen as a result of weather wear, was reattached to the body in 1993, after a long period of restorations to all the Usuki Sekibutsu. The Dainichi Nyorai, Japanese for Vairocana, who is interpreted as the Dharma Body of the historical Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama), is also seen as the embodiment of the Buddhist concept of Emptiness.
