A bronze statue

This is the statue of Ii Naosuke in ceremonial dress. Ii signed the five amity and commerce treaties with the U.S.A. and other countries in 1858 but was later assassinated in Tokyo. The copper statue was made by Fujita Bunzo and Okazaki Sessei and placed at Shokonsha in Hikone in 1910. The original statue shown in this photograph was donated to the country for scrap metal during World War II. It was rebuilt in Ninomaru Park at Hikone Castle.==Date:unknown, Place:Hikone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐151‐0]

    Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

    The bronze lanterns on both sides of the statue were donated in January 1712 and still exist today. Behind them are the two stones presumed to be foundations of the former Great Buddha building. The label under the caption on the lower right border of the stereograph reads Copyright 1904 by Underwood & Underwood, indicating that the photograph was taken around 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐86‐0]

      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]

        An old couple (Yamamoto Shugen and his wife)

        This photograph depicts a certain Yamamoto Shugen and his wife in Japanese dress. The man holds beads in his hand, while the woman is holding a fan. What seems like a tobacco tray is visible in front of them and a folding screen in the rear. This seems to have been taken as a portrait, but the details are not known.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number71‐60‐0]

            A view of a village in the mountains

            The Kamakura Highway (Misakaji) connecting the Kofu Basin in the south with Shizuoka is an old road dating back to ancient times. This photograph depicts the village of Fujinoki (present-day Misaka-machi, Fuefuki, Yamanashi Prefecture). Fujinoki was a tenma-shuku (a post town where travelers changed horses) on the Kofu Basin side, leading to the Misaka Pass of the Kamakura Highway. Misaka Pass is in the left background, viewed looking south from the Kofu Basin side. Nothing is known about the stone statue visible in the lower left.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐28‐0]
              Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

              Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

              Two bronze lotus petals (four existing today) are visible on the front of the pedestal, and a simple building stands on the right. There are large flat stones in front of the lotus petals to both the left and right. The fact that the petals are intact and the accompanying structure is different indicates that this photograph was taken later than the beginning of the Meiji Period when photograph #4464 was apparently taken. The Great Buddha is an object of worship and climbing upon it is prohibited today.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:R.

                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]

                  A samurai warrior

                  This is a studio photograph of a samurai wearing a haori jacket (with a family crest) and hakama pants. Japan 1881 is penciled in. The backdrop suggests that it is from the Stillfried album. The samurai may be holding an imitation wooden sword. He also has a fan in his hand. On the back of the photograph is a photograph of Alexandria by Felix Bonfils.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R.

                    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]

                      This is one of the photographs in the album by Kashima Seibei. Although the English caption reads Samurai and Servant, this is a staged photograph of a samurai in official clothes. The child is pretending to be his servant. It looks very artificial.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number84‐18‐0]
