Kamakura’s Hasedera Temple, a sister temple to Nara’s temple of the same name, is renowned for its 11-headed statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy. This Jodo-sect Buddhist temple is one of the oldest temples in the city and has roots in the eighth century. Legend has it that the monk Tokudo Shonin requested two Kannon statues to be made from a camphor tree in 721. The smaller statue was enshrined at Nara’s temple, while the other one was thrown into the sea as an offering. In 736, the statue washed ashore in Kamakura, and Hasedera was built to enshrine it. Hasedera’s grounds feature a harmonious display of traditionally designed temple buildings interwoven with lush nature and seasonal flowers, making for a peaceful stroll. Thanks to its elevated position, it also offers wonderful views of Kamakura’s townscape and Sagami Bay. The temple’s artfully crafted nature is on full display when you first enter the grounds. The welcoming garden features a pond encircled by plants, the small Benten-do Hall, dedicated to the goddess of music and wisdom, and Benten-kutsu Cave, which contains carved statues of deistic Buddhist figures. If you are hungry, refuel at the temple’s Teraya Cafe, located just before the entrance, or Kaikoan, which is built at an elevated level and boasts large windows with fantastic views of the area. Admission to the temple costs 400 yen for adults and 200 yen for children (ages 6 to 11). Parking costs 350 yen for 30 minutes.
Kotoku-in est le nom le plus commun du temple Taiizan Kotoku-in Shojosen-ji à Kamakura, dans la préfecture de Kanagawa. Ce temple bouddhiste Jodo-shu est réputé pour son Daibutsu, ou Grand Bouddha, qui est l’une des icônes les plus célèbres du Japon. La statue, communément connue sous le nom de Kamakura Daibutsu (Grand Bouddha de Kamakura), est une image colossale en cuivre du Bouddha Amitabha. Le Bouddha, qui a été déclaré Trésor national par le gouvernement japonais, mesure environ 11,3 mètres de haut et pèse environ 121 tonnes. Le Kotoku-in appartient à la secte Jodo, une secte bouddhiste traditionnelle fondée par le prêtre Honen (1133-1212) qui était un adepte d'Amitabha. Selon le système de croyance de la secte Jodo, tous les gens sont égaux et il suffit de chanter le «Nenbutsu» pour recevoir la protection d'Amitabha et renaître dans sa «terre pure».
Kamakura's Daibutsu is a beautiful bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha that was erected in the Kotoku-in Temple in the middle of the 13th century (750 years ago). With a height of 11.3 meters, it is the second tallest bronze Buddha statue in Japan that only is surpassed by the statue in Nara Todaiji Temple. The Buddha has been meditating in the open air for about 500 years after the temple hall in which it was originally housed was destroyed several times by tsunamis and typhoons. When you visit, you might see him drenched in the rain, sweating under the blazing sun, or just enjoying the warm spring sunshine. Kamakura's daibutsu has been kept intact without major restorations since it was built.
