    The statue of Emperor Keitai is made of kasudani stone, which was built by masonry craftsmen centered on Motoshiro Uchiyama in 1884 year to honor the emperor's achievements, and is over 4 meters high.

    It is a statue of Emperor Keitai in Asuwayama Park in Asuwakami-cho, Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. The face is very big, but I don't know why.

    A big stone Buddha on the face.

    Original Text

    It is a large stone Buddha standing on a hill in front of the Fukui Natural History Museum. There was an old burial mound and an explanation board on the hill. The big face makes me feel very relaxed. It is said that the masonry was made in 1897 to praise the virtues of the emperor.
