The Great Buddha of Nofukuji Temple (present-day Hyogo Ward) taken in the latter half of the Meiji Period.

After the opening of the port of Kobe, Christianity gained popularity. This statue of Vairocana Buddha was unveiled on March 15, 1891 as part of an effort to revive Buddhism. The statue attracted people to the faith and gained fame among foreigners as well.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐18‐0]
