Légende

Temple and Burial-place at Hakodade, 1856. Extract from a letter written by one of the officers of H .M .S. Winchester: 'The Sketches I have sent you will give you a good idea of the sort of country and the public buildings among the Japanese. The burial-grounds and temples present a peculiarly neat appearance from the sea; and the sketches of the figures convey an adequate impression of the appearance which these singular people present'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
