- 1919, 和(わ)辻(つじ)哲(てつ)郎(ろう) [Tetsuro Watsuji], 古(こ)寺(じ)巡(じゅん)礼(れい) (Koji junrei)‎:
  
  しかもそのギリシア的(てき)な様(よう)式(しき)にもかかわらず、この仏(ほとけ)の与(あた)える印(いん)象(しょう)は完(かん)全(ぜん)に仏(ぶっ)教(きょう)的(てき)である。その威(い)厳(げん)のある力(ちから)強(づよ)い顔(かお)は、理(り)想(そう)化(か)された人(ひと)ではなくして、人(ひと)の形(かたち)をかりた超(ちょう)自(し)然(ぜん)者(しゃ)という印(いん)象(しょう)を与(あた)える。
