          Hotta Garden,Mukojima

          The water level here is higher than in photograph #4442. The landscaped rocks by the shore are underwater and the garden looks different. A banner with the crest of the Hotta family is visible over the wisterias on the far left. The neighbour's tiled roof visible over the foliage in the centre is not apparent in #4442. Thus, this photograph must have been taken somewhat later.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐26‐0]

                Balcony of the main hall of Kiyomizu Temple seen from Okuno-in, facing west-northwest. Among the sightseers there are women with parasols. It is probably the beginning of summer because the trees are lush with leaves. The terrace was renovated in 1633. The building is in the yosemune style, and the roof is made entirely of hinoki tree bark. Wings flank the west side and the east and west of the south side. Jinushi Shinto Shrine is partially visible behind the main hall. The wooden fencing inside the railing was apparently installed to prevent people from falling.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:A.
