Cherry blossoms at ueno toshogu shrine

Cherry blossoms at ueno toshogu shrine

The Toshogu in Ueno is famous at present for its peony garden, but since this was built in 1980, it was not there at the time the photo was taken. The spacious grounds, now a zoo, were donated by Todo Takatora from his own residence so he would not have to go all the way to the tomb in Nikko for worship.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number8‐14‐0]

          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.

              Cherry trees at Mukojima

              The area across Sumida River from Asakusa is Mukojima. There is no official boundary, but area from Mokuboji Temple to Makura Bridge is referred to as Mukojima. The banks of Sumida River at Mukojima are called Sumida-tei or Boku-tei. Cherry trees were planted here during the Kyoho Period (1716-36) by the 8th Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, and saplings were planted from time to time thereafter. This area thus became the most popular place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Edo. Taken around 1898.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐40‐0]

                  Myokokuji belongs to the Nichiren sect, and the sango of the temple is Koshinzan. The popular name Sotetsudera (Japanese sago palm temple) is derived from the gigantic Japanese sago palm trees in the temple said to be brought from ancient Korea. Legend has it that when Oda Nobunaga moved these trees to Azuchi Castle, they made eerie cries every evening, so he sent them back to the temple.==Date:unknown, Place:Sakai, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number9‐35‐0]
