百八やぐら
「やぐら」は13〜15世紀に構築された岩盤を掘り込んだ横穴状遺構で、埋葬や供養といった葬送に用いられたものである。百八やぐらは、円覚寺裏山一帯に広がるやぐら群であり、総数180穴に近い鎌倉地区最大規模のやぐら群の一つで、鎌倉にあるほぼ全ての形式が見られる。この3Dモデルのやぐらは、百八やぐら最上部に位置するものである。この付近のやぐらに安置された仏像の多くは、頭部が欠損したものが非常に多いが、明治期の廃仏毀釈によるという説などがあるが、明確にはわかっていない。
A “Yagura” is a horizontal hole-shaped structure dug into the bedrock that was built between the 13th and 15th centuries, and was used for funerary purposes such as burials and memorial services. The Hyakuhachi Yagura is a group of tomb caves that spreads across the mountain area behind Engaku-ji Temple, and is one of the largest group of caves in the Kamakura area, with a total of nearly 180 caves, and almost every type of tower in Kamakura can be seen. This 3D model cave is located at the top of Hyakuhachi Yagura. Many of the Buddha statues enshrined in the towers near this area have their heads missing, and there is a theory that they were created by Haibutsu Kishaku during the Meiji period, but this is not clearly known.
