(InXizang)CHINA-XIZANG-FORMER SERF-NEW LIFE-PHUTSERING (CN)

(240328) -- LHASA, March 28, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Phutsering poses for a photo with his wife Nyima Tsangmo at home in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, March 23, 2024. Born in 1944 in Bainang County of Xigaze City, Phutsering was raised in a former serf family. A humble shack, situated near the manor where his mother toiled as a serf, served as his childhood home. Meanwhile, his father, employed at a separate manor, struggled to make ends meet by farming and crafting during lean months, barely generating sufficient income to cover the rent and taxes for their dwelling and fields. At the age of thirteen, he greeted a big change in his life, when he entered a primary school. After the democratic reform in Xizang in 1959, Phutsering got more opportunities to study."The chance to learn was a true gift, significantly expanding my perspective," said Phutsering.

Rokumichijizo Statues,Hakone

This is 3.2m magaibotoke (the largest in Kanto region during the Kamakura Period) carved into over seven meter high pyrozene andesite rock for jizo worship during Middle Ages. Although there is only one jizo here, this is called Rokudo (Six Way) Jizo because this is one of the group of stone buddhas around Shojingaike Pond which was regarded as the crossroad of Rokudo (lit. Six Road: Buddhist terminology meaning transmigration in the six paths of life). As there is no shack-like cover over the jizo, this photo was taken after 1878.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐27‐0]

Stirring the paddy field

A farmer is cultivating the field using black-haired cow at a rice paddie in Uji. A rope and a plow are tied to the back of the cow and each time the cow pulls the plow, the rice paddie is cultivated. A big warehouse is behind and a small shack covered with mats is made temporarily next to it, and a farmer with a balance pole is carrying goods. The rice seedlings may be preserved in the shack. This photo could have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Uji, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐24‐0]

Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

The words STILLFRIED(?) C. 1875 are visible on the mount. This photograph is said to have been taken by Stillfried around 1875, but the presence of the same temporary shack as that in photograph #2748 and the signboard on the left reading Names of Donors for Reconstruction Work suggest that it was taken a little later, probably the second decade of the Meiji Period.==Date:about 1875, Place:Kamakura, Photo:R.

A mountain path and a teahouse

Photographer unknown. Entitled Kamakura. A shack that could be a teahouse is visible between two hills. According to the lithographic map The Illustrated Map of Enoshima, Kugenuma, Zushi, and Kanazawa of 1896, this is probably one of the scenic points around Yamafutatsu (literally Two Mountains ) located between Nakatsumiya and Okitsumiya of Enoshima Shinto Shrine.==Date:unknown, Place:Enoshima, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐14‐0]

A distant view of Yokohama Station

This is the original Yokohama Station designed by American architect R. P. Bridgens and built in 1871. The building is of stone and wood construction. This is the site of present-day Sakuragi-cho Station. Since the bridge is of iron construction, this photograph must have been taken after 1885. The shack by the river is a public lavatory.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐4‐0]

Rokumichijizo Statues,Hakone

This is Hakone Rokudo Jizo. The photo taken by French captain Louis Kreitmann who traveled Japan between February, 1876 and May 1878 shows the shack-like frame around the jizo. However, it is not visible on this photo. Thus, this must have been taken after that period. This jizo, carved in 1300, was the biggest magaibutsu (a Buddhist image carved into the surface of natural rock) in Kanto region during the Kamakura Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:A.

Apparently Benten worship spread among commoners and samurai alike and many people visited the site.==Date:unknown, Place:Enoshima, Photo:A.

Deer on the approach to Kasuga Shrine

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]

This is the Byobu Torii Gate stading at the entrance of Hakone Shrine after going down Gongen Slope of the old highway. There used to be a shack (possibly an amazake shop) on the right side of the gate during the Meiji Period. Instead, there is a shack-like place with just straw mat. Although there are many photos teken from the same angle, it is interesting to see the slight difference in each one.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐20‐0]

Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

Like photographs #2748 and #3132, this is thought to have been taken between 1877 and 1887 when the reconstruction of the building was underway. However, no donors' signboards are visible. Also, there is a temporary shack on the lower right of the statue, but it is empty. This photograph may have been taken by Usui Shuzaburo (a 19th-century photographer in Yokohama). The Great Buddha is an object of worship and climbing upon it is prohibited today.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐6‐0]

Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

The photograph was probably taken around the same time as photograph #2748, i.e. the first decade of the Meiji Period. It is thought to have been taken by Stillfried. Three signboards stand on both sides of the paved stone approach, one saying, The names of donors for the reconstruction work. There are many roof tiles piled under the floor of the shack on the right and a few placed on the floor. These tiles may have been donated for the reconstruction.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number64‐30‐0]

Owaku-dani Valley

Erwin von Baltz, who came to Japan as a professor at Tokyo Medical School in 1876, had the idea of using the hot spring of Owakudani for medial rehabilitation. He proposed to the Department of Internal Affairs to have a large bath facility built. This proposal was turned down, and Baltz disappointedly went back to Germany.

Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

There are gas lights to the right and left sides and the kuri (rectory) on the right. Kotokuin Temple began to collect donations after receiving government permission to rebuild the Great Buddha Hall in 1879. The three signboards on the left may be lists of the names of donors. There is a shack to the lower right of the statue. Since another photograph shows roof tiles piled up here, this spot may have been a booth for the donation of roof tiles as part of the reconstruction project.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐21‐0]
