Daibutsuden was mostly completed and approximately 19 meters high wooden Great Buddha statue decorated with lacquer and gold was set up in 1595 but collapsed due to the great earthquake in 1596 before a ceremony to consecrate a newly made Buddhist statue was held. 文禄4年(1595年)、大仏殿がほぼ完成し、高さ約19メートルの木製金漆塗坐像大仏が安置されたが、慶長元年(1596年)に起きた大地震により、開眼供養前の大仏は倒壊した。 |
