- 1919, Tetsuro Watsuji, 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。
  Shikamo sono Girishia-teki na yōshiki ni mo kakawarazu, kono hotoke no ataeru inshō wa kanzen ni bukkyō-teki de aru. Sono igen no aru chikarazuyoi kao wa, risō-ka sareta hito de wa naku shite, hito no katachi o karita chō-shizensha to iu inshō o ataeru.
  In addition, although its Greek style, the impression this statue of the Buddha gives is completely Buddhist. Its dignified and powerful face gives the impression of a supernatural being borrows human form, rather than an idealized person.
