Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

The words Hachimangu-ji (Hachiman Shrine Temple) are inscribed on the tablet at the Jogu Romon (upper shrine gate). Tsurugaoka-Hachiman Shrine was a combination Shinto shrine and Buddhist temple until the end of the Edo period in 1868, when the temple was abolished in response to a government edict. This photograph was probably taken just before the temple buildings were removed.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐19‐0]

    The gate to Takanawa Tozenji Temple,the British Legation

    The gate to Takanawa Tozenji Temple,the British Legation

    This stereograph bears the caption View taken from the United States Legation, at Yedo and is said to depict Tempukuji Temple in Azabu, but this is incorrect. The temple is actually Tozenji, located in present-day Takanawa 3-chome. The Shogunate concluded a treaty pact with Great Britain (Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Commerce) in 1858, and Tozenji Temple was designated as the site of the British Legation. This was taken by Swiss Pierre Rossier at the end of the Edo Period. This is a side view of the sanmon gate, also seen in photographs #3420 and #3443.==Date:1859, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Pierre Rossier, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number70‐7‐0]

      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]

        Children playing in a small schoolyard

        The national school system began in 1872. In those days there were nearly 3,000 terakoya (old style temple schools) in Shinshu (Nagano Prefecture) educating commoners. These temple schools were instrumental in the spread of modern education. Although modern school buildings were built after 1874, Buddhist temples were still being used as schools even in 1904 when this photograph was taken.==Date:1904, Place:Karuizawa, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐63‐0]

          Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

            Rokuban Yagura (No.6 Watchtower) is on the right, and Sanban Yagura (No.3 Watchtower) is visible behind the bridge. Originally, there were seven watchtowers.

              Shinkyo Bridge,the Daiyagawa River

              Shinkyo Bridge spans Daiya River at the entrance to Nikko-Sannai. The bridge is also called Jabashi (Snake Bridge), referring to the legend that the priest Shodoshonin, when founding Nikko, crossed the river by walking over two big snakes released by Shinja-Daio. The bridge in this photograph was washed away by a flood in 1902. Poles holding power lines are visible.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐9‐0]

The Tokyo City Railway Mita-Hibiya Line opened here in June 1904, but no train tracks are visible in this photograph. The photographer, Herbert George Ponting, visited Japan once in 1896 and again in 1903. The caption on the lower right saying Copyright 1904 indicates that he took this photograph during the second visit. This photograph was also used as a motif for picture postcards.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐76‐0]

                  A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

                  The Nikko Highway is lined with cedar trees. Nikko was known for heavy rainfall, and its streets tended to get muddy, creating problems for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The photograph captures rickshaws, vendors, travelers, people with umbrellas, and an electric pole behind them.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐57‐0]

                    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]

                      Asakusa-dori Avenue

                      Like photograph #2276, this is a northern view from the entrance of Nakamise, the present location of Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate). The shopping area between Kaminarimon and Niomon is called Nakamise. Legend has it that the priests of Sensoji Temple asked the local people to keep the temple grounds clean and in return gave them permission to set up shops there. Buildings of brick construction were erected in 1885 in imitation of the Ginza Street. Probably taken around 1896.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐99‐0]
