A centuries-old wooden church from 1881 in the municipality of Rautjärvi, Finland was totally destroyed in a fire early Christmas Day morning December 25, 2022. The fire broke out during a Christmas service at the Rautjärvi church on Sunday morning. Between 30 and 40 people reportedly attended the service however, rescue services said that everyone was safely evacuated. Authorities say they have reason to suspect that the blaze that ravaged the Rautjärvi church was intentionally started, and so the crime is being investigated as a case of aggravated property damage.

Biggest ancient 'dotaku' bell restored

What is claimed to be the biggest ancient 'dotaku' bronze bell in Japan is put on display at a museum in Yasu, Shiga Prefecture, neighboring Nara and Kyoto on Thursday Oct. 1. The bell, weighing 55 kilograms, with 135 centimeters in height, has been restored based on original bronze pieces unearthed in 1881. Dotaku, made in the Yayoi Period (300 BC- AD 300), are believed to be musical instruments or ceremonial implements. So far, more than 400 of these bells have been discovered in Japan. They usually range from 10 to 130 centimeters in height.

Scene near the entrance of the cedar tree boulevard by Ashino Lake. A telephone pole is seen in the picture. Telecommunications came to Hakone post office only in July 1881, so the photo was taken after that. If this is an electric pole, the date of the photo goes back to 1912.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐23‐0]

Manganji Temple,Nikko

Sanbutsu-do, the main hall of Rinoji Temple, was formerly part of Nikko Futarasan Shinto Shrine. In response to the official separation of Buddhism and Shintoism in 1871, it was dissembled and rebuilt on its present site in 1881. It enshrines three Buddhist deities: Senju-kannon (1,000-hand deity of mercy), Amida-nyorai and Bato-kannon.==Date:unknown, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐40‐0]

Cherry trees in Akasaka

Cherry trees in Akasaka

Benkei Bridge seen from in front of Akasaka Gomon (gate). The moat was called Benkei Moat because it was built by master carpenter Benkei Kozaemon, and the bridge received the same name when it was built over the moat. Cherry trees were reportedly planted on both banks of the moat around 1881. As the trees appear still small, this photograph was probably taken in the early 1890's.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐14‐0]
