Nokendo

Nokendo

Nokendo was known as the best place to view the eight famous scenes of Kanagawa, but the scenery was gradually spoiled after the reclamation of Deiki Shinden from the sea, and the focus of popularity shifted to Kyurantei. The Nokendo temple buildings were lost in a fire in 1871, and presently only the stone monument remains.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐30‐0]
