      Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

      The Great Buddha of Kamakura is a seated Amitabha Buddha (Amida Nyorai) made of bronze. Designated as a National Treasure in 1897, it is the main object of worship at Kohtokuin Shojosenji Temple. Historic documents state that work began on a gilt statue of Shaka Nyorai Buddha about 13.5 meters in height in the year 1252. It is not known when it became a statue of Amida Buddha. The exact date of the photograph is unknown.==Date:1904, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐4‐0]

          The Rokudo Jizo are typical examples of stone Buddhist statues in Hakone together with the Magai botoke of Nijugobosatsu. It was carved on a rock facing Shojin Lake at the foot of the Mt. Kamifutagoyama, and has a height of over 4 meters. It was completed in 1300, and the Buddhist ceremony to consecrate a newly made image was conducted by Ryokan Boninjo. It is a national historic site.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐21‐0]

              The Nio Gate of Kiyomizu Temple. There are stone lanterns on both the north and the south sides of the stone stairway in front of the gate. The west gate and the three-story pagoda are visible on the far right. Built during the Muromachi Era (1392-1573), the Nio Gate had three rooms and one door with a hiwadabuki (bark-covered) roof. The statue of Kongo Rikishi is situated in the area surrounded by a kongo fence (a fence made of vertical stakes with decoratively shaped finials resembling the ritual object called kongosho used in esoteric Buddhist rites) with lattice work above it. Today, statues of guardian dogs stand in front of the stone lanterns bearing the inscription Kiyomizu Temple. Taken by Felix Beato.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:F.

                  Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

                  Like photographs #2748 and #3132, this is thought to have been taken between 1877 and 1887 when the reconstruction of the building was underway. However, no donors' signboards are visible. Also, there is a temporary shack on the lower right of the statue, but it is empty. This photograph may have been taken by Usui Shuzaburo (a 19th-century photographer in Yokohama). The Great Buddha is an object of worship and climbing upon it is prohibited today.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐6‐0]

                    Two bronze lotus petals (four existing today) are visible on the front of the pedestal, and a simple building stands on the right. There are large flat stones in front of the lotus petals to both the left and right. The fact that the petals are intact and the accompanying structure is different indicates that this photograph was taken later than the beginning of the Meiji Period when photograph #4464 was apparently taken.

                      In front of Seiyo-ken Restaurant,Ueno Park

                      The smaller size of the cherry trees on the right indicates that this photograph was taken some time before photographs #2425 and 2651. However, the date is later than photograph #4799 by Usui Shuzaburo because the cherry trees have grown. The sign board of the Seiyoken Annex faces in a direction different from that in photograph #4799. Insho-tei appears in a 1891stone print by Katsuyama Eizaburo, but since the cherry trees are somewhat taller in that print, this photograph was probably taken around 1887.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number64‐53‐0]
