Statues of Enmeijizo (giving a long-life) by Lake Ashi

In Hakone, a movement to destroy Buddhist statues was seen after the official separation of Shinto and Buddhist rituals in 1868, and the Buddhist images by Ashino Lake were also damaged. In the picture, a tragic scene with a broken halo and the stone lantern torn down can be seen. This jizo still exists at Tokujoin in Odawara.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number24‐23‐0]

                Scene near the entrance of the cedar tree boulevard by Ashino Lake. A telephone pole is seen in the picture.

                  Entrance of the simoda harbour

                  Shimoda is known as a port opened to foreigners at the end of the Edo era. The Shogunate appointed a Shimoda Bugyo (magistrate) there in 1853, when the US fleet came to Uraga and demanded that ports be opened for trade. The Shogunate ordered them to enter Shimoda Harbour. It was also here that Perry landed in 1854. Shimoda was blessed with the features of a good natural harbor. The first US Consulate was opened here, the scene of a diplomatic drama between the US and Japan.==Date:unknown, Place:Shimoda, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number19‐29‐0]

                      Statues of Enmeijizo (giving a long-life) by Lake Ashi

                      This is Enmei Jizo in autumn, 1871 after Haibutsukishaku (anti-Buddhist movement at the beginning of the Meiji era). Compared with the image in catalogue #5365, the figure's halo is broken, the accompanying jizo figures on the side are gone, and the stone lanterns have been destroyed. There were many stone Buddhas and stone towers as well as this Enmei Jizo in Tokaido Hakon Sanchuzu, documented by a ukiyoe print made by Sadahide Goun during Edo era. It is reported that many were thrown into the lake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐45‐0]
