These Kamakura Daibutsu candies are modeled after the Great Buddha of Kamakura. To make these special candies, a modeler from Takaoka City in Toyama Prefecture was asked to create a miniature representation of the Kamakura Daibutsu to capture its likeness and to spread the Buddha’s wishes for strong relationships and good fortune.

 

At a height of 11.4 meters, the Kamakura Daibutsu is one of the tallest bronze Buddha sculptures in Japan. Cast over 800 years ago, the sculpture has survived multiple typhoons and tsunamis which destroyed the surrounding temple buildings. It now stands as one of Kamakura’s most popular and awe-inspiring sights.

Lovely treat

These were in the first day of our Advent Calendar. They're really pretty candies that I'd really think would make great stocking stuffers or part of a gift basket.
