AllRefer.com - Kamakura, Japan (Japanese Political Geography) - Encyclopedia (211 words)
It is a resort and residential area but is chiefly noted as a religious center, the site of more than 80 shrines and temples.
Kamakura is especially famous for its daibutsu [Jap.,=great Buddha], a 42-ft-high (12.8-m) bronze figure of Buddha, cast in 1252, and for a 30-ft-high (9.1-m) gilt and camphor statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy.
Kamakura was splendid as the seat of Yoritomo and his descendants (1192–1333); under the Ashikaga Shogunate (1333–1573) it was the government headquarters of eastern Japan.
