              Two women admire wisteria blossoms. The title Hikone suggests that this was taken in Genkyu-en, the garden of the former second residence of the Ii family in the north San-no-maru section of Hikone Castle. The chisenkaiyu-style garden (with a path meandering through the garden around a central pond) was completed in 1679 by the 4th feudal lord of the Oumi domain, Ii Naooki.==Date:unknown, Place:Shiga, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐165‐0]

                The garden at Nakanogo Kawara-machi (present-day Azumabashi 1-chome, site of Sumida Ward Hall and the Asahi Beer Co. Headquarters). Feudal lord Mizuno Tadaakira of Numazu Clan received the garden as a gift from the 11th Shogun Tokugawa Ienari sometime between 1818 and 1830. A resident of Mikawashima Village named Monzaburo is said to have designed it. According to historical records, the ownership later transferred to Matsudaira Echizennokami of the Fukui Clan of Echizen, and then to Satake Sakyodayu of Akita Clan in 1860. It is a Rinsen-style garden with a pond in the centre and many stones used for landscaping.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number85‐8‐0]

                  Taken around 1872 by Ueno Hikoma, this is a family portrait of Omura Sumihiro, 12th lord of the Omura Clan, who also served as Nagasaki Magistrate. This was taken soon after he resigned when the feudal domains were replaced by governmental prefectures in 1871. This is the entrance to the Omura residence in Nagasaki (site of present-day Nakamachi Church).==Date:about 1872, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number102‐40‐0]

                    A teahouse and girls,Mukojima

                    The English title is Wayside Resting Place. This is probably the endai bench at a teahouse on the Mukojima embankment. The kimono style of the three dressed-up girls indicates that they are geigi (young geisha). The food on the bench appears to be manju sweet buns. Sakura-mochi (cherry cake), which people ate in the cherry-blossom season, is said to have been created by Yamamoto Shinroku, the gateman at Chomeiji Temple in Mukojima during the Genroku Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number85‐35‐0]
