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. This photograph is included in the Collection of Tamamura Kozaburo (1856-?).==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐93‐0]
