Statues of Enmeijizo (giving a long-life) by Lake Ashi

This is Enmei Jizo around 1867 before Haibutsukishaku (anti-Buddhist movement at the beginning of the Meiji era). Compared with the figure in catalogue #4603 taken after Haibutsukishaku, the intact halo, flanking jizo figures, and the stone lanterns are extant. According to Tokaido Hakone Sanchuzu printed in 1867 by Sadahide Gountei, there once existed many stone Buddhas and towers at Sainogahara on the shore of Lake Ashinoko.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:F.

    Rokudo jizo,stone statue of the guardian deity

    The Rokudo Jizo are typical examples of stone Buddhist statues in Hakone together with the Magai botoke of Nijugobosatsu. It was carved on a rock facing Shojin Lake at the foot of the Mt. Kamifutagoyama, and has a height of over 4 meters. It was completed in 1300, and the Buddhist ceremony to consecrate a newly made image was conducted by Ryokan Boninjo. It is a national historic site.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐21‐0]

      This is Enmei Jizo in autumn, 1871 after Haibutsukishaku (anti-Buddhist movement at the beginning of the Meiji era). Compared with the image in catalogue #5365, the figure's halo is broken, the accompanying jizo figures on the side are gone, and the stone lanterns have been destroyed. There were many stone Buddhas and stone towers as well as this Enmei Jizo in Tokaido Hakon Sanchuzu, documented by a ukiyoe print made by Sadahide Goun during Edo era. It is reported that many were thrown into the lake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐45‐0]

        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]

          In Hakone, a movement to destroy Buddhist statues was seen after the official separation of Shinto and Buddhist rituals in 1868, and the Buddhist images by Ashino Lake were also damaged. In the picture, a tragic scene with a broken halo and the stone lantern torn down can be seen. This jizo still exists at Tokujoin in Odawara.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number24‐23‐0]

                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 3.2m magaibotoke (the largest in Kanto region during the Kamakura Period) carved into over seven meter high pyrozene andesite rock for jizo worship during Middle Ages. Although there is only one jizo here, this is called Rokudo (Six Way) Jizo because this is one of the group of stone buddhas around Shojingaike Pond which was regarded as the crossroad of Rokudo (lit. Six Road: Buddhist terminology meaning transmigration in the six paths of life). As there is no shack-like cover over the jizo, this photo was taken after 1878.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐27‐0]
