This Jizō statue stood on the banks of Lake Ashi in Hakone for 150 years when Felice Beato took this photo in the 1860s.

Within a decade, the lakeside statue would be vandalized, sold, and removed in the aftermath of the Buddhist persecution during the early Meiji era. 🧵
🗃️ 📜 #Japan

The image depicts a serene lakeside scene with a large statue of the seated Bodisattva Jizō in the center. The statue rests on an ornate lotus base and has an elaborate circular halo behind it. Flanking the statue on both sides are smaller, intricately carved stone lanterns. Two small Jizō statue are visible on the right. In the foreground, two people are standing near the statue, one appearing holding their hands together in prayer. The background features a calm lake, bordered by hills covered with dense foliage, under a soft, overcast sky.

Hokusai's "Great Wave" also on a silver coin (minted 2017), now listed on eBay for $50–$100 USD.
Would be cool to touch this wave in silver.
