Daibutsu (the Great Buddha),Ueno

There was once a Great Buddha on the hill at Ueno. It is said that Hori Tangonokami Naoyori built it at Shinobugaoka in 1631. The Buddhist monk Joun later cast it in bronze, but it was destroyed by fire in 1841. A new Buddha and temple housing were constructed in 1843. It is said that the temple housing was removed in 1873, which explains why the Buddha is exposed in this photograph. Probably taken between 1892 and 1897.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐7‐0]
