the dates are a mess and make no sense :
> After Shimazu’s death in 1958, the Terukuni Shrine (also referred to as Shōkoku Shrine) was built in Kagoshima as a memorial to the late daimyo. He was enshrined there in 1863, and the photograph was placed there as an object of worship. However, it later went missing in the 1800s.
- glandium 8y agoLikewise: > The following year, the camera was obtained by Shimazu Nariakira, a Japanese feudal lord (daimyo) who ruled the Satsuma Domain from 1851 until his demise in 1958. No, he didn't rule for 107 years :) More like 7. He died in 1858.
- Tor3 8y agoYes. The Wikipedia article cover it too, but with correct dates (and more general information): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimazu_Nariakira https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimazu_Nariakira

- 24gttghh 8y agoTo be fair, it's just the one date: 1958; meant to be 1858. Then the last sentence should be: >However, it went missing later in the 1800s.
