Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

The photograph was probably taken around the same time as photograph #2748, i.e. the first decade of the Meiji Period. It is thought to have been taken by Stillfried. Three signboards stand on both sides of the paved stone approach, one saying, The names of donors for the reconstruction work. There are many roof tiles piled under the floor of the shack on the right and a few placed on the floor. These tiles may have been donated for the reconstruction.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number64‐30‐0]

                    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). The Great Buddha is an object of worship and climbing upon it is prohibited today.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐6‐0]
