日本佛像之始 [ri ben fu xiang zhi shi]—The Beginning of Japanese Buddhist Statues — [Story] "A Brief History of Buddhism in the Three Kingdoms (三國佛教略史 [san guo fu jiao lue shi])" states: "In the 14th year (the 14th year of Emperor Kinmei (欽明帝 [qin ming di])), a strange piece of wood drifted ashore in Kawachi Province (河州 [he zhou]) near the Chinu Sea (茅渟海 [mao ting hai]). The local people retrieved it and presented it to the emperor. The emperor ordered two Buddha statues to be made from it. This was the beginning of Buddha statue creation in Japan." (It is believed that this refers to the statue at the present-day Hōno-ji Temple (方野寺 [fang ye si]) which emits light (放光 [fang guang])).
