I have tons and tons of pictures of statues, everything from foo dogs to Nio (gate guardians) to gods and goddesses to Buddha.










The Nio statues were some of my favorites. Some are smaller than a person, others (like the unpainted one on the upper right, from Nara) are as much as 26' tall! But they are always impressive, and I have quite a few pictures of various Nio from temples all over Japan. To read more about Nio:
