A little more perspective

The monument’s operator gives a 120-meter ground-level height. Ibaraki’s tourism guide explicitly identifies the 120-meter dimension as including the pedestal, which matches the full assembly illustrated here.

The lotus and lower platform remain part of the comparison instead of being removed from the image. A statue-only comparison would need to exclude the base from both the measurement and the illustrated boundaries.

Quick facts

Ushiku Daibutsu reaches 120 meters with its supporting base. The standing Buddha and its lotus platform are shown together in this comparison.

For a presentation or a research note, include the subject, the measurement definition, and the measurement used. A picture alone cannot explain those choices. The comparison guide explains how to export an image and its source notes together.
