The Sanmon Gate,Shiba Zojoji Temple

This is Sangedatsu Gate (Sanmon), the middle gate in the temple precincts.

Five main halls (temples) of Matsushima

It is extremely rare to find rickshaws in a photo with Matsushima Beach in the background, implying that these women must be very upper class. At the time of construction, Godaido Shrine was vermillion, but, only a small part of the shrine building still bears its original color. It is odd that the bridge to the island is not vermillion.==Date:unknown, Place:Sendai, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐26‐0]
