The image shows the Great Buddha of Kamakura (Kamakura Daibutsu) at the Kōtoku-in Buddhist temple in Kamakura, Japan. The bronze statue, with visible green patina, is positioned in the center of the frame against a clear blue sky. A crowd of people, including school girls in uniforms, tourists, and locals, are gathered at the base of the statue and on nearby stone steps. The vegetation, including trees and bushes, is also visible in the background, flanking the statue. A stone lantern and other temple features are present at the bottom of the image. The orientation of the image suggests it was taken at a slight angle.
