    The gate to Takanawa Tozenji Temple,the British Legation

    Tozenji Temple became the site of the British Legation in 1859 and Sir Rutherford Alcock was the first envoy. The legation was attacked on May 28th, 1861by Mito Clan samurai demanding the expulsion of foreigners, and several people were killed or injured (Tozenji Incident). Bullet holes and sword marks still remain in the study and the entrance of the temple. This was taken around the same time as photograph #3421.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Pierre Rossier, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number70‐6‐0]

      Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

      The bronze lanterns on both sides of the statue were donated in January 1712 and still exist today.

        Sensoji Temple

        This Kannon-do was rebuilt by the third shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu in 1649. The style of construction is koran mitesaki-zukuri. The photograph captures a flock of pigeons flying from Niomon (gate). The building burned down in an air raid on March 10, 1945. The present-day Kannon-do was erected on October 17, 1958. Taken by Herbert George Ponting. Stereograph published in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐69‐0]

          The Kaguraden and honden (inner sanctuary),Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

          The building on the left seems to the Rinzo (sutra repository), which was later demolished. Since there is no tablet visible on the Romon gate and the square foundation stones are placed next to the Kaguraden, this photograph is thought to have been taken around 1870 when the temple buildings were demolished. Taken by Felix Beato.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number62‐32‐0]

            The Karamon Gate,Toshogu Shrine,Nikko

            Karamon is the official gate to the main shrine at Toshogu. Only high ranking government officials and feudal lords, who were allowed to meet the shogun directly, could use this gate during the Edo Period. The carvings on the upper portion of the gate read Shuntei Choken-no-gi ( Emperor Shun's Morning Greetings). Someone is standing inside the gate. The building behind it is the Hall of Worship.==Date:unknown, Place:Nikko, Photo:A. Farsari, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number82‐39‐0]

                The Sanmon Gate at Sensoji Temple

                The Sanmon Gate at Sensoji Temple

                The sanmon (front gate) at Sensoji Temple was called Niomon because statues of the guardian deities Kongo Rikishi were installed on both the right and left (present-day Hozomon). Statues of Monju Bosatsu (Manjusri Bodhisattva) and Shiten (four angels) are installed on the second floor of the gate building. The plaque Sensoji is based on calligraphy by the head priest of the Tendai Sect, Ryosho Hoshin-o. This photograph was taken before brick buildings were erected in the Nakamise commercial area in 1885.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐123‐0]

                  Gate of main entrance of a shrine

                  From the structure of the gate and the arrangement of the stone lanterns, this is probably the south gate of the Kasugataisha. Women and men of various generations look at the camera. It is probably a commemorative photo of a family coming to worship.==Date:unknown, Place:Nara, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number31‐67‐0]

                    The curtain gate to the tomb in Bunsho-in,Zojoji Temple,Shiba

                    The caption reads temple in Shiba of Tokyo in English, but this is the Shikiri Gate of the Bunshoin (enshrining the tomb of the 6th Shogun Ienori) within the premises of Zojoji Temple in Shiba. The atmosphere at the entrance of the tomb can be observed. The guard still wears a mage (hair worn by men in a pony tail).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number3‐23‐0]

                      Kagami-ike (Mirror Pond), Todaiji Temple

                      This is Kagami-ike (Mirror Pond) located at the southeast of Chumon Gate of Todaiji Temple. Since Mt. Wakakusa is visible afar, this is the view from the Nanboku (lit. South-North) approach to the temple when facing southeast. The stairs at west of Nakashima Island and a torii gate are present. People originally entered from the west, however, at present the entrance is from the back east side.==Date:unknown, Place:Nara, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐3‐0]
