Though it is unknown who built the Great Buddha, its style was clearly influenced by the Buddhist sculpture of the Kei School (Unkei [?--1224] and associated sculptors of Buddhist images), as well as one of the Song Dynasty (960--1279) of China. The Great Buddha is considered a typical example of the style of Kamakura period (1192--1333) Buddhist sculpture.
