Buddhism was popular among certain circles as early as the 1880's. The painter John La Farge and Henry Adams (grandson of John Quincy Adams) traveled to Japan to study Buddhism in 1886. The statue "Grief" in Rock Creek Park DC, dedicated to Adam's wife Marian (who committed suicide), was inspired by his studies.
