円徳寺, Buddhist temple in Gifu, Japan
The Great Buddha statue at Entokuji Temple stands 13.7 meters tall, making it the largest dry lacquer Buddha statue in Japan.
The temple construction began in 1638 during the Edo Period and later transformed into an Obaku-sect temple affiliated with Manpukuji Temple in 1692.
The temple contains 500 distinct statues of Buddha disciples on the north and south walls, each displaying different expressions, clothing, and poses.
