Shipbuilders

Four men build a boat by the water. Two men to the right use a saw to cut wood and carve wood with an axe. In the centre stands a man taking measurements of lumber using a curved measure, and a man who is probably a master carpenter stands observing the measurement. A woman carrying a baby on her back places her hands on the boat and watches the men work.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number10‐13‐0]

A yakatabune (a leisure boat)

People aboard a houseboat moving along a river. Two helmsmen take the scaffold. The other twelve are probably passengers. Since the women and men take different poses, this it is probably a dramatized photo of a river picnic or ferryboat.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number12‐28‐0]

Motomiya Garden,Hikone

A view of Hakkeitei with Tsukiyama in the background. A woman dressed in a kimono with hair done in Japanese style stands holding an umbrella. On the boat floating on the lake, two women dressed in kimono stand in the centre, one holding an umbrella. At the bow of the boat is the boatman.There is a man sitting at the stern and the helmsman holds a pole upright, standing with one foot on the edge of the boat.==Date:unknown, Place:Shiga, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number10‐21‐0]

A carpenter

Three men are at work. They are all wearing short coats. They are engaged in (from right) cutting boards with a saw, cutting logs with a hand axe, and shaving lumber with a plane. Since these three operations are usually done separately, the scene was obviously staged for the camera.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐27‐0]

Ferries,the Sumida River

Probably the ferry dock called Takeya-no-Watashi at Mukojima. Another photograph taken downstream shows these people at the same time. Stone steps descend to the river from where the man is standing in the centre, and the ferry dock called Terashima-no-Watashi is visible upstream. However, the boat depicted here is not a ferry but a yanebune (roofed boat) used for entertainment. This is one of the photographs in the album sold at Kinpei Photograph Studio, indicating that it was taken by Kusakabe Kinbei in the early Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐31‐0]

Motomiya Garden,Hikone

The Hakkeitei from the lake. A woman leans on the handrail of the Hakkeitei veranda and looks at the camera. A boat comes nearby, with three women dressed in kimono. One sits, and two others stand holding umbrellas. The boatman stands at the helm and the man in the stern holds a pole.==Date:unknown, Place:Shiga, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number10‐35‐0]

A leisure boat on the Sumida River

This same photograph was carried in a special issue of Asahi Graph published by Tokyo Asahi Newspaper in 1925 to commemorate the centennial of photography in Japan, under the heading Boat Outing on Tokyo Sumida River with Uchida Kuichi around 1874. The caption says that the man leaning on the railing in the centre is Uchida Kuichi and that the photograph belongs to Hirata Kenichi. The fashion-conscious Uchida usually wore Western-style clothes in photographs, so this is a rare shot of him wearing a kimono.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐20‐0]

A leisure boat on the Sumida River

Like photographs #2665 and #4543, this was taken at the bank of Imado River in front of Yumei-ro at the mouth of Sanya-bori. Ushijima Shinto Shrine, also called Ushi-no-Gozen (presently located at Mukojima 1-chome, downstream) and Choumeiji Temple are amid the tall trees at the rear. The person leaning on the handrail in the centre may be Uchida Kuichi. If so, this photograph was probably taken by his apprentice. The photograph was sold after being trimmed and tinted.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐44‐0]

A leisure boat on the Sumida River

Roofed boat taken at the bank of Imado River in front of Yumei-ro where Sanya-bori (moat) merges with Sumida River. The water is too shallow to allow the boat to float, which explains why the photograph is so sharp. In the rear is Mukojima, site of Ushijima Shinto Shrine and Chomeiji Temple. Found in the collection of Uchida Kuichi preserved at Nagasaki Municipal Museum, this photograph was verified to have been taken by Uchida in 1872. This is one of the copies later made and sold.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐25‐0]

A yakatabune (a leisure boat)

Same as the photo numbered 12-28. Many people ride a houseboat going on a river. Two helmsmen row the boat and the other twelve seem to be passengers. The women and men pose in different places. This is probably a dramatized photo of a boat picnic or a ferryboat.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number16‐28‐0]
