Ushiku: Great Buddha

Bronze

牛久大佛

日本

位於日本茨城縣牛久市久野町。正式名稱為牛久阿彌陀大佛,由日本淨土真宗僧興如發心造像,始鑄於平成元年(1989),平成五年竣工。台座高20公尺,主體高100公尺,直徑1公尺,總重4,000公噸,是目前世界上第二高的銅製立佛。
 該像主要採用施於高層大樓的帷幕牆建築工法。佛身主體被設計分割成二十層的切環,每個環層再平均分割成十七個方塊,每個方塊由約九片邊長平均1.5公尺的四方青銅板並排熔接,並與底基的鋼骨架構組合而成。
 佛像外表由僅6公分厚的六千餘枚不同形狀的青銅薄板熔接鑄成,結構輕巧堅實,為因應颱風、地震及氣候變化等所產生的伸縮變化,而於銅板接合部分留有縫隙。像內分五層,從地面起85公尺內,約於佛身胸部側邊,可乘電梯通達,佛身胸部闢細長小窗,可觀賞戶外景物。佛螺髮,面相方圓,眼瞼微啟,表情溫和,體軀健碩,肩寬厚胸,身著袈裟。兩掌向外,右手向上,左手向下,拇指和食指相捻,作接引眾生之印相。
