Japan - City Scenes
1953: Binzuru (Pindola Bharadvaja). Todai-ji Temple – Nara, Japan. This figure is to the outside right of the front doors. The large bronze statue of Buddha Vairocana (Daibutsu) is inside. This Arhat is reputed to have the gift of healing, and followers rub the statue in the area where they are sick. As a result, the statue looks quite different today.
