Changes

After the [[Meiji Restoration]], for a brief period, the academy was renamed the Shôheigakkô, and then the Shôhei-daigakkô, but in [[1871]] the school was closed, and the statues of [[Confucius]] and others were taken down. The site, and the statues, were later restored, however, and the shrine was named a national historical landmark in 1922, before being destroyed in the Great Kantô Earthquake the following year. It was rebuilt in 1935, in steel-reinforced-concrete, instead of in wood, and painted in black, inside and out. The roof was done in the ''[[irimoya]]'' style, with bronze ornaments. The world's largest statue of Confucius, a 1975 gift from the Taipei Lions Club, stands on the grounds.
