Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

During the Edo era, the lack of sophisticated civil engineering techniques made the construction of bridges impossible over many rivers. Fuji River was one. There were no bridges, and travelers had a hard time crossing the river. From the Meiji era, abundant water made this location a base for the paper industry.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number14‐3‐0]

    A cargo boat on the Nihonbashi River

    View of Nihonbashi River looking west, taken from Nihonbashi Bridge. The river is busy with cargo boats. Mt. Fuji was visible from this spot on clear days. The left side of the river is Nishi-gashi (west riverside), and the bridge visible in the far right is Nishi (West) Bridge. This was a transitional period when land transportation was replacing water transportation, but at this time the canal still played a major role in transporting goods. 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 Number97‐78‐0]

      Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

      Fuji River, which at present runs through Shizuoka, Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures is known to be one of the three fastest rivers in Japan and a difficult route for transport since olden times. Maritime transport on the Fuji River, which thrived during the Edo Period, connected Iwabuchi near the mouth of the river with the banks of Akisawa in Kai, Aoyagi and Kurosawa.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number3‐44‐0]

        Mt. Fuji seen from Kashiwabara

        Northern view of the snow-capped peak of Mt. Fuji from Ukishimanuma (Floating Island Bog) near Kashiwabara-Shinden in Fuji City. The water from the pond becomes Numa River and flows into Tagonoura. The area surrounding Ukishimanuma Pond was a marsh called Ukishimagahara. People moved around by boat, creating a water traffic network. Two men are riding a river boat with sail, and Mt. Fuji is reflected upside down on the pond.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number88‐37‐0]

          Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

          Northern view of snow-capped Mt. Fuji from the mouth of Numa River, which flows into Tagonoura Harbour in Fuji City. The location of Mt. Hoei indicates that this was developed from the wrong side of the negative. The piled stones on the left could be part of a stone gate. A retaining wall constructed of wooden posts and pebbles protect the riverbank. Two men are visible.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number47‐21‐0]

            Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

            Fuji River, which is known as one of the three fastest rivers in Japan, has many branches and has troubled travelers from the early days. A wooden bridge stands on the other side of the inner island (should be confirmed). A boat might have been necessary to cross the river.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐29‐0]

              A distant view of Mt. Fuji

              The location is unknown, but Mt. Fuji can be seen in the front. A river flows in the middle of the photo, and people on palanquins along the road by the river and men taking the lead holding umbrellas are clearly seen. What is grown in the depression in the fore cannot be seen.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number26‐32‐0]

                Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

                The boat is probably the cargo vessel of the time, the Bezai boat. The sail has been folded, and the boat is anchored with a straw matting. Tagonoura was a port of the Edo era for Sengokubune (junk boats with capacity for one thousand koku of rice) of the Shogunate that came in and out from Kashima, a territory of the Shogunate. The shadow of the wooden bridge is beautiful. * A photo taken from the same angle is included in the book edited by Ozawa Kenji The End of the Bakufu and Meiji in Pictures , entitled Mt.Fuji from Tagonoura 1880s Kinpei album ( p.67).==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number14‐1‐0]
                  Mt. Fuji seen from a mountain village

                  Mt. Fuji seen from a mountain village

                  Mt. Fuji viewed from around Murayama, Fujinomiya City (?). When climbing to Mt. Fuji from Fujinomiya, travelers stopped at Murayama Sengen Shrine and Dainichi-do in Murayama Village to worship. Since Mt. Hoei can be seen jutting up on the right, it is likely that this photograph was taken in Murayama, but the lack of an object of reference makes it difficult to determine the exact location.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:F.

                    Sarubashi (Monkey Bridge) spans Katsura River in Sarubashi-cho, Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. This bridge is considered one of the three most unusual bridges in Japan, together with Kiso-no-Kakehashi (Gifu Prefecture) and Kintai-kyo of Suo (Yamaguchi Prefecture). It was designated a National Place of Scenic Beauty in 1932. Sarubashi is designed in hijikiketa style, which is characterized by a lack of vertical supports. This is a view of the bridge from upstream. Many people are on the bridge. The date is unknown.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:A.
