Sixth turret at the outside moat of osakajo castle

The inner castle walls and sixth turret facing the outer moat of Osaka Castle, seen from the direction of the present Kamimachi Suji (southwest corner of the outer moat). The new technique used to build the slope in the high stone walls by standardizing the stones is a feature of castle construction which started in the middle of the Edo Period.==Date:1872, Place:Osaka, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number3‐50‐0]

      Stonewalls along the moat

      View of the outer moat of Edo Castle looking south from the eastern edge of Tokiwa Bridge, with Gofuku Bridge in the distance to the south. The Gofuku-bashi Gomon Gate was removed in 1873, and the wooden bridge was replaced with a stone bridge in 1880. This photograph was therefore taken after 1880. The break in the middle of the stone wall on the right is the junction of the Dosan Moat and the outer moat. Zenikame Bridge is to the right.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐52‐0]

          Kudanzaka slope and a lighthouse

          A steep slope from the Kanda direction to the Kojimachi hills along the inner turret of the Imperial Palace. The slope was made less steep as a result of restoration work after the Great Kanto Earthquake. A lighthouse was built in 1872 as a landmark for the fishing ships in Tokyo Bay. The magnitude of the lighthouse can be seen from the person in front.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number22‐3‐0]

                The gate of the Imperial Palace

                Honmaru (Dungeon) Otemon was the main gate of Edo Castle during the Edo Period, but Nishinomaru Otemon (the gate on the left) became the main gate of the Imperial Palace in the Meiji Period. Koraimon is visible at the edge of Nishinomaru Otemon in the foreground. However, the gate was removed during construction of Meiji Palace in 1888. In December of the same year, the bridge was rebuilt in stone. Taken in 1868.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐21‐0]
                  The inner moat of the Imperial Palace

                  The inner moat of the Imperial Palace

                  View of Koji-machi and Hanzo-mon from the west side of Soto Sakurada-mon. The area where the Imperial Palace (former Edo Castle) faces the inner moat (Sakurada Moat) is called Hachimaki Doi. The stone wall was constructed only on the upper portion, and the rest was a gently curving earthen embankment. Old pines still remain inside the stone walls, and this is one of the most beautiful spots in Tokyo. The Watari watchtower of Hanzo-mon, which was removed in 1871, is visible, indicating that this photograph was taken at the beginning of the Meiji Period. The photographer is Felix Beato.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number62‐35‐0]

                    Kudanzaka slope and a lighthouse

                    The steep slope to the Kojimachi area along the inner moat of the Imperial Palace from the direction of Kanda. The slope was made less steeper at the time the road was restored after the Great Kanto Earthquake. A lighthouse was built in 1871 as a landmark for fishing boats coming into Tokyo Bay. The building in the distance with a dome is the Nicholai Chapel in Surugadai.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number6‐18‐0]

                      Hasuike (Lotus Pond) Moat between Honmaru and Koyozan. The height of the stone wall on the left indicates that the Honmaru Palace is on that side and therefore that this is a view of Hasuike-mon looking southeast from Shita-mon at Koyozan. Taken by Kusakabe Kinbei, probably between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of the Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐14‐0]
