Gongen Shrine,Hakone

This is the main hall of Hakone Shrine. Timbering is surruounding the shrine. Since there is no record of restoration during the Meiji Period, repainting was being done at this time. In 1884, the Department of Internal Affairs had given 300 yen for the purpose of preserving the old temples and shrines and the timing could be the same. This is the same photo as catalog #139, but with different tinting.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number64‐50‐0]
