Daibutsu (the Great Buddha),Ueno

The Great Buddha was located on a hill to the left of Ueno Seiyoken Restaurant and attracted many visitors during the cherry blossom season. However, the head of the Buddha fell off in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. The body was donated to the military to make (of all things) weapons during World War II. On the 50th anniversary of the earthquake, a pagoda was built at the site of the former Great Buddha, and the head of the Buddha, which had been kept at Kaneiji Temple, was installed in a monument south of the pagoda. Probably taken around 1878.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐48‐0]
