The Kaguraden and honden (inner sanctuary),Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

On the left is the Kaguraden of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu (lower hall of worship). At the top of the stairs is the main shrine of Hachimangu. There are 62 steps in total. The Hachimangu that Yoritomo moved from Tsurugaoka is said to have been located under the staircase, but it was burned in a fire in 1193 and moved to the present higher location in November of the same year. The building on the left is the Kaguraden. The woman standing in front is probably visiting the shrine for worship.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number10‐16‐0]

A mikoshi (portable shrine) of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

Interior view of the kairo (cloister) of the Upper Shrine. The cloister was rebuilt in 1828 and is now a National Important Cultural Asset. A beautiful design is painted under the eaves. Renovated in the beginning of the Showa Period, this building remains as a valuable source of information about the designs used from the Edo Period. The mikoshi (portable shrines) were made during the Momoyama or Edo Period, and seven of them remain as Prefectural Tangible Ethnological Assets.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number93‐41‐0]

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

View of Wakamiya Shrine from the east. The Jogu Romon (upper shrine gate) and cloister are visible above. The roof thatched with bark shingles was rebuilt in 1624. The upper shrine, constructed in the early Edo Period, was destroyed by fire in 1821 and reconstructed with a bronze roof in 1828. Wakamiya Shrine and Jogu Romon are both Important Cultural Assets.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

The photograph bears the handwritten label Hachiman Temple Kamakura 92-16. A group of students is descending the stairs. The area at the bottom of the stairs resembles that in a photograph owned by the Abe family (former feudal lords of the Fukuyama Clan) taken around 1893, indicating that this photograph was taken between 1887 and 1892.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐16‐0]

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

No tablet is visible on the Jogu Romon (upper shrine gate). Although the stone stairs remain in front of the Kaguraden on the left, the shitomi (storm door) on the side and mune (junction at the top of the roof) have been removed, indicating that this photograph was taken soon after the demolition of the buildings.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐29‐0]

A lotus pond at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

E

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

Labeled L17 HACHIMAN(B), the photograph depicts the Jogu Romon (upper shrine gate). The tablet on the gate reads Hachiman-gu. Since the view from the bottom of the stairs is similar to that in a photograph taken in 1893 and no artillery monument can be seen, this photograph is thought to have been taken between 1887 and 1892.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:A.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

The stone lantern in the foreground was donated by the sugar wholesalers of Edo in 1862, and it still stands at present. A wooden torii gate stands in the centre, and behind it are the Kaguraden and the Jogu Romon (upper shrine gate). An illustration in the February 11, 1865 issue of The Illustrated London News and the art of Renjo Shimooka indicate that the Niomon gate at the torii existed until the end of the Edo Period. This photograph may have been taken around the beginning of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐19‐0]

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

A pattern similar to that in photograph #4749 is visible under the eave of the Jogu Romon (upper shrine gate). The cleansing basin is located on the right side, at the foot of the stone stairs. Kora-Myojin Shrine is behind it. Neither were in existence after the first years of the Meiji Period. The absence of a tablet on the Romon gate of the upper shrine and the time-worn appearance of the Kaguraden roof indicate that this was taken around the same time as photograph #3073.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:R.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

This is part of the Ogawa Kazumasa (1860-1929) Collection. Ogawa was born in the Oshi district (present-day Gyoda City in Saitama Prefecture). He later ran a photographic printing business. Although it is not clear when he visited Kamakura, the details depicted indicate that the photograph was taken around the same time as photograph #4674, or between 1887 and 1892.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number67‐33‐0]

Himeishi Daimyojin Shrine

The photograph and mount bear the labels Himeishi Daimyojin and ..at the Temple of KAMAKURA respectively. An illustrated map from the year 1850 shows the Himeishi (Princess Stone) in the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine precincts. It also resembles, in terms of its shape and markings, the Masakoishi (Masako Stone) located today on Benten Island in the shrine pond, but the exact details are unclear. This photograph may be the work of Stillfried. The date is unknown.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number64‐76‐0]

A shrine in Kamakura

Wakamiya Shrine is also depicted in photograph #4744. Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu Shrine was established at the site of present-day Wakamiya Shrine in 1180. The building in this photograph is the one rebuilt in 1624 and now registered as an Important Cultural Asset. Thatched previously with bark shingles, the roof was covered in bronze after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. This photograph may have been taken by Stillfried.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number64‐45‐0]

The Kaguraden and honden (inner sanctuary),Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

The building on the left seems to the Rinzo (sutra repository), which was later demolished. Since there is no tablet visible on the Romon gate and the square foundation stones are placed next to the Kaguraden, this photograph is thought to have been taken around 1870 when the temple buildings were demolished. Taken by Felix Beato.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number62‐32‐0]

Wakamiya-sha,Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

A fire ladder is leaning against the roof of the Wakamiya Shrine. The Kagura-den roof visible next to the shrine is slightly damaged. A photograph in the September 1st, 1871 issue of The Far East shows the temple in a similar condition immediately following the demolition of buildings. Consequently, this photograph was probably taken around the same time.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐7‐0]

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

The words Hachimangu-ji (Hachiman Shrine Temple) are inscribed on the tablet at the Jogu Romon (upper shrine gate). Tsurugaoka-Hachiman Shrine was a combination Shinto shrine and Buddhist temple until the end of the Edo period in 1868, when the temple was abolished in response to a government edict. This photograph was probably taken just before the temple buildings were removed.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐19‐0]

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine

Two artillery monuments are visible at the base of the stone wall. Although absent in the 1893 collection of the Abe family (lords of the former Fukuyama Clan), these monuments appear in a copper-plate print of Kamakura made in 1896, indicating that they were installed to commemorate victory in the Sino-Japanese War. The photograph was probably taken, therefore, sometime after 1893.
