                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).

                      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.
