A stone Buddha that appeared in the earthquake

Original Text

It is the only stone Buddha in Japan that depicts two legendary poets in the Tang Dynasty. The one used for the stone wall collapsed in the earthquake and caught the eyes of people again, and the carving was a stone Buddha that gave a mysterious feeling, although it could not be seen without paying close attention.
