The two started with saying "I know you"
Showing mutual respect to each other
Kokei's successors soon to make
Kongo Rikishi Statues
Then came the moment of synchronisation
Vibing with each other
Created by Unkei and Kaikei were
Your Kongo Rikishi Statues
Bazaradara
Bajarapani
From Heian to Kamakura
Reconstruction of Todaiji Temple in Nara
Two figures at the Great South Gate
Almighty power to ward off evil
Agata and Ungata, enshrined on the left and right
8 meters and 40 centimeters tall
High fived for their satisfactory work
Busshi sculptors who touched heart to heart
Hammer / Chisel
Kanna Plane / Ruler
Chainsaw / Drill
Woodworking in progress
Exhalation / inhalation
A perfect pair
Digging on
The two started with saying "I know you"
Showing mutual respect to each other
Kokei's successors soon to make
Kongo Rikishi Statues
Then came the moment of synchronisation
Vibing with each other
Created by Unkei and Kaikei were
Your Kongo Rikishi Statues
Bazaradara
Bajarapani
Unkei's favourite hangout
Kaikei paid the bill
Place where friends would meet
Who loved Buddha statues
Open till 5 in the morning
Once in a while, days like this not so bad
Let's meet and talk tonight
Mutual sympathy
Synchronized hearts
Standing side by side
We would spill our hearts and share our dreams
An important cultural property for future generations
Wouldn't it be great if we could create one?
The two started with saying "I know you"
Showing mutual respect to each other
Kokei's successors soon to make
Kongo Rikishi Statues
Then came the moment of synchronisation
Vibing with each other
Created by Unkei and Kaikei were
Your Kongo Rikishi Statues
