The low stone lantern indicates that this is the compound of Yasukuni Shinto Shrine at Kudan. The torii in the centre is the wooden Otorii (Great Gate) built in 1873. It fell into ruin, was removed in 1884, and was replaced with a bronze gate in 1887. There is a flagpole to the left of the gate. The fenced-in area in the foreground seems to be a pond. Probably taken between 1873 and 1875.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐23‐0]

          Taiko-bashi (drum) Bridge at Kameido Shrine

          Stereograph published in 1904. Although the bridge is the same as in photographs #5001and #2215, the stone lantern in the foreground is larger. Gentlemen wearing Western-style suits and hats are visible among the worshippers, a sign of the times. Frequently a notice was posted on the parapets urging the elderly, ladies and children not to cross the bridge because of the danger (from Saishin Tokyo Hanjoki published in 1903).==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐66‐0]

            A bronze ox at Kitano Shrine

            An elderly woman prays for good luck by touching the bronze cow on a stone pedestal at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. The statue was donated by shrine followers. The woman is wearing a hand towel on her head, holding a cane in her right hand, and touching the hind leg of the cow with her left hand. Early blooming plum trees are visible in the background. The shrine's guardian deity, the cow was regarded as a messenger of Sugawara-no-Michizane. This may have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐42‐0]

              The red Senbon Torii (one thousand gates) along the eastern approach to Fushimi Inari Taisha are viewed looking southeast. The approach starts at Kamigoden Hall on the east side of the shrine precincts and stretches in a southeasterly direction to the foot of Mt. Inari, Myobusha. There are many visitors. The man on the lower left may be a beggar. The marks on the torii gate indicate that this photograph was taken after February 1889, probably by British photographer H. G. Ponting.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐36‐0]

                A woman pointing at stone lanterns. The exact location of the photo cannot be determined. However, as there are many stone lanterns, it is definately within shrine precincts. It is a stereograph, and the photo was possibly taken around the same time as catalogue #4957, by the same photographer. The woman is wearing kimono, Japanese-style chignon, and holding a parasol.==Date:1904, Place:Nara, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐25‐0]

                      The tomb of first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu was placed in the inner shrine at Nikko Toshogu.
