In the 1860s, in the earliest days of inbound tourism to Japan, the Great Buddha at Kamakura quickly became the most well-known daibutsu in Japan. It could be visited easily from Yokohama without acquiring an interior travel passport, and was often described and depicted in literature and souvenirs aimed at the foreign tourist market. The postcard on the left was sent from Yokohama to a Mrs Stockwell in Liverpool, England by "Auntie Alice" on 29 March 1928. The message on the back reads "Greetings from the Great Buddha at Kamakura." The unsent postcard on the right was printed in the USA for the Dollar Steamship Line, and illustrates the overtly exoticist framing of sights that was particular common in postcards published outside Japan
