Fujin-do,Mt. Maya

Mayasan Toritenjoji Temple. The building in the centre is Bujin-do, which houses a statue of Mayabunin (the mother of Buddha) brought from Tang Dynasty China by the Japanese priest Kobodaishi in the early ninth century. The same photograph was carried in a Kobe guidebook published in 1897, and a lithograph apparently copied from it appeared in another guidebook published in 1893. Thus, it was probably taken in the mid-Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number71‐17‐0]
