Naganuma-no-Komagata-Daibutsu 長沼の駒形大仏
Komagata Great Buddha in Naganuma
Komagata Daibutsu is a great Buddha statue located in Naganuma-cho, Inage-ku, Chiba City.
It was set up in 1703 by Noda Gennai, who was a pharmacy commission merchant in Edo and developed paddy-fields in Naganuma village. He collected voluntary subscriptions from 60 nearby villages and set it up to pray for cure of illness and safe travel of the people and horses going up and down the Onari Kaido Road.
It was designed and cast by Hashimoto Izaemon Fujiwara Shigehiro, a casting workman in Sanmacho, Asakusa, Edo. This 2.4 m tall statue is the image of seated Amida Nyorai making Jou-in (meditation mudra) in front of the abdomen. The head and body were separately cast and joined together.
The list of donators inscribed on the back of the statue shows that this Great Buddha was worshipped by a people in a wide range of area including Matsudo and Inbanuma.
The Great Buddha still gently watches over the traffic on the Naganuma Kaido Street.
