The gate to Takanawa Tozenji Temple,the British Legation

Sanmon gate of Tozenji Temple viewed from the temple grounds (opposite from photograph #3420). Since one of the leaning pines has been cut down, this photograph was taken after #3420, probably at the beginning of the Meiji Period. The sea coast came up to the gate at that time. At present, due to landfill, the coast is located at a greater distance. According to Tokyo Annai (Tokyo Information), Tozenji Temple belongs to the Myoshinji School of Rinzai Zen Buddhism and was built in 1610. Built initially built above the reservoir as Reinan-an by the Buddhist priest Reinan, it was moved to Takanawa in 1636 and the name was changed to Tozenji.==Date:Early Meiji, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number71‐2‐0]

    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]
      The Sanmon Gate at Sensoji Temple

      The Sanmon Gate at Sensoji Temple

      The sanmon (front gate) at Sensoji Temple was called Niomon because statues of the guardian deities Kongo Rikishi were installed on both the right and left (present-day Hozomon). Statues of Monju Bosatsu (Manjusri Bodhisattva) and Shiten (four angels) are installed on the second floor of the gate building. The plaque Sensoji is based on calligraphy by the head priest of the Tendai Sect, Ryosho Hoshin-o. This photograph was taken before brick buildings were erected in the Nakamise commercial area in 1885.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐123‐0]

        A shrine in Fujisawa

        This is the head temple of the Jishu sect of Buddhism founded by Ippen. The official name of the temple is Totakusan Muryokoin Shojokoji Temple. The fourth-generation priest Donkai built the temple in 1325. This photograph captures Kyakuden (far left) and Daishoin (far right) over the Chujaku Gate viewed from around Kan'nondo on the left. Chujaku Gate still stands today.==Date:unknown, Place:Fujisawa, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number78‐5‐0]
          Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

          Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

          This stereograph entitled No.301 Daibuts-Statue in Kamakura is thought to have been taken in the beginning of the Meiji Period because there are bronze lotus petals in front of the statue. The stone paved approach is the same as that in photograph #5372. The monument in the photograph, which carries the inscription Donated Stone Pavement was made in 1780, so it is likely that this stone pavement was laid at the same time.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Wilhelm Burger, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number70‐22‐0]

            Cherry blossoms at ueno toshogu shrine

            The Toshogu in Ueno is famous at present for its peony garden, but since this was built in 1980, it was not there at the time the photo was taken. The spacious grounds, now a zoo, were donated by Todo Takatora from his own residence so he would not have to go all the way to the tomb in Nikko for worship.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number8‐14‐0]

              A priest

              A priest standing in front of a temple gate. He is holding a long fan and wearing a priest's robe and long kesa. This is a stereograph taken in Nagasaki by Wilhelm Burger. A photograph depicting the same scene was taken by F. Beato. Probably taken in the mid-Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Wilhelm Burger, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number70‐27‐0]
                Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

                Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

                The photograph bears the inscription One Hundred Nineteen 119. There are no bronze lotus petals. The building on the right side of the statue is probably the same as that in photograph #3997. The sharply-raking finials on the two bronze lanterns in front of the statue indicate that this photograph was taken at the beginning of the Meiji Period, but there seems to be a slight time difference from photograph #3997.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐10‐0]

                  Rickshaw on the approach

                  The approach to Chiseki-in Temple from the northern temple grounds of Rengeo-in (Sanjusangendo) Temple, facing east. The front gate of the temple is visible in the centre, with the Amidagamine Mountains in the background. The rickshaw driver going up the slope looks back at the camera. Since the brick walls of Kyoto Imperial Museum (built in 1895) are not visible, the photograph was taken prior to that date.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number46‐91‐0]
                    The approach to Enkakuji Temple,Kamakura

                    The approach to Enkakuji Temple,Kamakura

                    View of the Enkakuji Temple entrance area from the site of present-day Kita-Kamakura Station. There are two gates facing the street in front of the temple. The one in the background is the southeast gate. The temple is on the other side of the bridge. A horse road passes behind the mound on the right. It is possible that commoners were forbidden to use this gate during the Edo Period. The rickshaw in the centre seems to be an early model, indicating that this photograph was taken at the beginning of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number86‐8‐0]
