The wood is left unpainted for visual effect.
Wood from Prunus wilsonii was used to carve the Shakyamuni (Shaka Nyorai) (木造釈迦如来立像; mokuzō shaka nyorai ryūzō), a copy of the lost Udayana Buddha by the Chinese sculptors (and brothers) Zhāng Yánjiǎo and Zhāng Yánxí. It was brought to Japan from China in 986 by the monk Chōnen (奝然). The sculpture stands 160 cm (5 ft 3 in) tall and is a National Treasure of Japan.[1]
gollark: You define a function, and it magically gets treated as an operator overload.
gollark: Is the approach of "stick magic function names in as methods" used by any other standard library or language feature?
gollark: * no dedicated support needed
gollark: What I'd really like is the ability to just go around defining operators arbitrarily like in Haskell, making the operator overloading basically just a consequence of traits with no dedicated support.
gollark: Well, they are generally Rust's standard method for overloading things/implementing shared behavior, so it's more sensible than magically named methods.
