Hakone Shrine

Hakone Shrine

The former Ichino Torii in Hakone Shrine. The all-night lamp was moved to the present position in front of the new Sanno Torii. Since the steel kettle which was there until 1880 is not seen, the photo is believed to have been taken after 1879. Since no electric cables are seen, it is taken before 1912.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number10‐12‐0]

The view of the Ichino torii from the front approach to Toshogu. Ten stone steps called sennin masusugata stand in front of this stone torii.

Deer on the approach to Kasuga Shrine

Deer on the approach to Kasuga Shrine

Although the title of the photo says 'Deer at Nara Park', this photo was actually taken at the shrine approach of Kasuga Taisha capturing seven deer. A male deer in the centre and female deer surround it. Despite the fact that there are not specific objects to pinpoint the exact location, since there are no stone lanterns and the way the shoulders of the road looks like, it is assumed to have been taken about 550m east of Ichino-torii Gate when facing east.==Date:unknown, Place:Nara, Photo:R.

This photo depicts a shack called azumaya and some deer. Two people on the far left appear to be foreigners. Although it is difficult to see the condition of the deer hair, judging from the man's attire and the trees, it was probably summer. Otabisho (a resting place for the god) of Wakamiya Shrine is situated three hundred meters east of Ichino-torii Gate and the location of the photo is across from it.==Date:1893, Place:Nara, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐90‐0]

The approach to Hakone Shrine

The Ichino Torii Gate (the First Gate) of Hakone Shrine ca be seen at the end of the street. The shrine approach begins from the gate. This street is Tokaido Highway (present-day National Route 1) where ceder trees line along. Since the telegraoh pole is present, this photo must have been taken after 1873 when the line was placed between Tokyo and Nagasaki. The lake visible among the trees is Ashinoko and Hakone Shrine is behind it.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number47‐16‐0]

Torii gate at Hakone Gongen

Torii gate at Hakone Gongen

A photo of the redecoration project of the former Ichino torii of Hakone shrine. We can tell this picture was taken before 1880 by the steel kettle, but there are no records of the redecoration. In the first year of the Meiji, the shrines were shattered by the Buddhism abolishment movement without means for repair, so this could be when the Priest Korai made some repairs in 1884 when he assumed his post.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number37‐66‐0]

A picture of the former Ichino torii of Hakone Shrine, where the present Nino torii stands. A steel kettle used to stand here near the torii until 1880, which can be seen in the drawings by Kobayashi Kiyochika, so the picture was taken before that. The palanquin is place unnaturally, probably for the photo.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number37‐55‐0]

Hakone Shrine

The former Ichino torii of Hakone Shrine. It is known from a drawing by Kobayashi Kiyochika that there was a large steel pot by the torii. The absence of the pot shows that it was taken after that, and furthermore the existence of the electric pole shows that the picture was taken after 1881.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number26‐34‐0]

The front entrance to Toshogu Shrine,Nikko

Past the Ichino torii from the front approach, the red-painted Toshogu front gate is seen at the top of the steps. At present, statues of Nio stand to the left and right, and Korean dogs are placed to the right and left of the back. The front is in the style of a Buddhist temple and the back is in the style of a Shinto Shrine. In accordance with the Shintoism and Buddhism separation order of 1872, there was a time when the Nio statues in the front were moved to the back of the Daiyuin Nio Gate and the Korean dogs were moved to the front. This is a photo of that period. The caption reads Nio Gate .==Date:4th - 30th year of Meiji, Place:Nikko, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number11‐9‐0]

The photo was taken after 1881, because there is no kettle by the Ichino torii to the centre left.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number9‐10‐0]

The front entrance to Toshogu Shrine,Nikko

Going through the Ichino Torii from the Omote Sando (front approach), visitors see the red painted Toshogu front gate above the stone steps. At present, the Nio statue is placed to the left and right of the front, and Komainu (Korean dog) to the right and left of the rear. The front is done in the style of a temple, and the back in the style of a shrine. Under the Shintoism Buddhism division order issued in 1871, the front statue of Nio was moved to the back of Niomon of Daiyuin, and for a time the Komainu were placed in the front. The caption says Ichinomon instead of Niomon.==Date:4th - 30th year of Meiji, Place:Nikko, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number6‐26‐0]

The scenery near the Ichino torii of Hakone Shinto Shrine. A woman and man stand together dressed in Western-style near a tea house. Since there is no molten iron kettle next to the torii, it is clear that this photo was taken after 1881. Since an electric wire seems to be seen, it may be as late as 1912.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐20‐0]
