Although this statue is practically brand new (completed in 1995) compared to other statues found in cities like Nara or Kamakura, it doesn't take away how unbelievably immense it is. This bronze Nehanzo (or reclining Buddha) is approximately 41 meters long, 11 meters high, and weighs around 300 tons.

Nanzo-in is a Shingon sect Buddhist temple in Sasaguri, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is notable for its bronze statue of a reclining Buddha, said to be the largest bronze statue in the world. [Wikipedia]
