                The building on the left seems to the Rinzo (sutra repository), which was later demolished. Since there is no tablet visible on the Romon gate and the square foundation stones are placed next to the Kaguraden, this photograph is thought to have been taken around 1870 when the temple buildings were demolished. Taken by Felix Beato.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number62‐32‐0]

                    Balcony of the main hall of Kiyomizu Temple seen from Okuno-in, facing west-northwest. Among the sightseers there are women with parasols. It is probably the beginning of summer because the trees are lush with leaves. The terrace was renovated in 1633. The building is in the yosemune style, and the roof is made entirely of hinoki tree bark. Wings flank the west side and the east and west of the south side. Jinushi Shinto Shrine is partially visible behind the main hall. The wooden fencing inside the railing was apparently installed to prevent people from falling.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:A.
