Daibutsu literally means "big buddha, " this Showa Daibutsu is located at Seiryuu-ji Temple in Aomori City, a one and a half hour drive from Misawa Air Base.
This statue was built in 1984, stands 70 ft high and weighs 220 tons. The Showa Daibutsu is a giant effigy of Dainichi Nyorai , the central deity of worship among Japan’s Shingon sect of Esoteric Buddhism.
By the way, this was taken last September but forgot to post these in here :-)
Note: Dainichi means Great Sun
