    The gate to Takanawa Tozenji Temple,the British Legation

    The gate to Takanawa Tozenji Temple,the British Legation

    This stereograph bears the caption View taken from the United States Legation, at Yedo and is said to depict Tempukuji Temple in Azabu, but this is incorrect. The temple is actually Tozenji, located in present-day Takanawa 3-chome. The Shogunate concluded a treaty pact with Great Britain (Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Commerce) in 1858, and Tozenji Temple was designated as the site of the British Legation. This was taken by Swiss Pierre Rossier at the end of the Edo Period. This is a side view of the sanmon gate, also seen in photographs #3420 and #3443.==Date:1859, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Pierre Rossier, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number70‐7‐0]

Judging from their clothes, it appears to be either late autumn or early spring. The girl on the palanquin is probably a tourist.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐25‐0]

                  The Sanmon Gate at Sensoji Temple

                  The Sanmon Gate at Sensoji Temple

                  The sanmon (front gate) at Sensoji Temple was called Niomon because statues of the guardian deities Kongo Rikishi were installed on both the right and left (present-day Hozomon). Statues of Monju Bosatsu (Manjusri Bodhisattva) and Shiten (four angels) are installed on the second floor of the gate building. The plaque Sensoji is based on calligraphy by the head priest of the Tendai Sect, Ryosho Hoshin-o. This photograph was taken before brick buildings were erected in the Nakamise commercial area in 1885.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐123‐0]
