Sugao Cliff Buddha
❚ Oita Bungo-Ono Geopark
Sugao Cliff Buddha in Mie Town, Bungo-Ono City, Oita Prefecture.
Beautiful. The three-dimensional carvings such as the plump face and soft and rounded shoulders are very beautiful.
Compared to the wooden Buddha statues in Kyoto and Nara, it is not so colorful, and it is very exquisitely made.
The Sugao Cliff Buddha is thought to have been created at the end of the Heian period. It is carved into the molten tuff of the Aso pyroclastic flow about 90,000 years ago.
It has also been designated as an "Important Cultural Property" and a "Historic Site" by the country.
