Hakone Shrine

Hakone Shrine

Hakone Shinto Shrine was the centre of worship as the Hakone Gongen. Especially in the middle ages, it was revered by Kamakura Shoguns such as Minamoto Yoritomo, and it is the setting of the Tale of Soga. This picture was taken before 1896, because the Komainu (Korean style dogs) and the pines planted by Emperor Meiji are not seen.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐24‐0]

          A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

          The Nikko Highway is lined with cedar trees. Nikko was known for heavy rainfall, and its streets tended to get muddy, creating problems for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The photograph captures rickshaws, vendors, travelers, people with umbrellas, and an electric pole behind them.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐57‐0]

            A wisteria trellis at Kameido Shrine

            These wisteria terraces were all destroyed during World War II air raids. The wisteria trees of today were planted one by one from around 1950 by the local people. The wisteria blossoms at Kameido Tenjin Shrine are said to be the best in Tokyo, and they were chosen as one of the New Best One Hundred Scenes of Tokyo. This stereograph was published in 1904 in a book-shaped case.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐67‐0]

              The cedars along Nikko Highway were donated by Matsudaira Masatsuna on the 33rd anniversary of the death of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. The building visible in the background probably stands near Oiwake Jizo. This area was beautiful at the time. The sky is visible between the trees. It is said that people could walk here by the light of the moon and stars.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐7‐0]

                An elderly woman prays for good luck by touching the bronze cow on a stone pedestal at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. The statue was donated by shrine followers. The woman is wearing a hand towel on her head, holding a cane in her right hand, and touching the hind leg of the cow with her left hand. Early blooming plum trees are visible in the background. The shrine's guardian deity, the cow was regarded as a messenger of Sugawara-no-Michizane. This may have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐42‐0]

                    The Tamadare Falls

                    The Tamadare Falls

                    Judging from the condition of the trees, this appears to be the Tamadare Waterfall before it was incorporated as Takinomae Park in 1891. The young woman is possibly an employee of a nearby inn. The volume of water is abundant and this photo shows the force of the falls before the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, when half of the fall was destroyed. Currently the falls, which are in the garden of Tenseien Hotel, are open to the public.
