Shijo-dori Avenue,Gion

Western view of Shijo Street (at the foot of the stone stairs of Gion) from the western gate of Yasaka Shrine. The stone statue of a guardian dog on the right was built by Iwata Chubei, Koizumi Shinshichi, and other residents of Kankoboko-cho, Shijo-dori-Muromachi-Higashi-iru in 1882 as a wish for family peace and prosperity. The Pagoda on the left at Yaei Elementary School was used to spot fires. The street was widened in later days. Rickshaws are parked in front of the houses.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:A.

    This is a view of the stone torii gate and Omote-sando approach to Toshogu Shinto Shrine. The torii was donated by Kuroda Echizennokami Nagamasa in 1618.

          Daibutsu (the Great Buddha),Ueno

          The Great Buddha at Daibutsuyama, Ueno Shinobazugaoka. The lack of temple housing indicates that the photograph was taken after 1873, probably around 1882 in view of the fact that the photographer is Usui Shuzaburo. The path in front of the Buddha to the left leads to Ueno Seiyoken Restaurant, which opened in April 1873 as the second location of Tsukiji Seiyoken of Kyobashi Unemecho. A sign saying Seiyoken Annex is visible to the left of the path. The street in the foreground is Kuromon Dori (Black Gate Street). The grove on the right is Toshogu-no-Mori.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐47‐0]

                The front entrance to Toshogu Shrine,Nikko

                The front entrance to Toshogu Shrine,Nikko

                Going through the Ichino Torii from the Omote Sando (front approach), visitors see the red painted Toshogu front gate above the stone steps. At present, the Nio statue is placed to the left and right of the front, and Komainu (Korean dog) to the right and left of the rear. The front is done in the style of a temple, and the back in the style of a shrine. Under the Shintoism Buddhism division order issued in 1871, the front statue of Nio was moved to the back of Niomon of Daiyuin, and for a time the Komainu were placed in the front. The caption says Ichinomon instead of Niomon.==Date:4th - 30th year of Meiji, Place:Nikko, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number6‐26‐0]

                  Sensoji Temple seen from Ryounkaku. There are many photographs of Ryounkaku, but few photographs were taken from that building. Kannon-do is in the centre, with the five-story pagoda and Niomon (gate) to the right. The area in front and to the left of Kannon-do was commonly called Okuyama. Street performers made presentations there. The building in the left foreground is Hana Yashiki (Flower House). The five-story Okuyamakaku (Ho'okaku) is visible. This was probably taken soon after the construction of Ryounkaku in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐38‐3]
