This cast Buddha made in such a town of Takaoka is made by Shuun Makita, a master of Buddhist statues, who is called a busshi.

The die-casting method, in which metal is poured into a mold at high pressure and solidified, is more precise than other castings, and the casting surface is smooth and beautifully finished.
After that, the cast Buddha statue is completed by coloring one by one by skilled craftsmen.
The face of the Buddha, which was created by combining the delicate techniques of "Busshi" and the modern casting method, is very delicate and beautiful and has a strong presence.
It is the best "cast Buddha" that allows you to feel the presence of Buddha close to you in your daily life.
