Ferry boat

Ferry boat

The English caotion reads, Ferry boat. In this scene of a ferry boat ride, the helmsman rows with a pole and the passengers wear traveling gear and prepare to land. The river is not very wide, but the flow is rapid. The boat connected to a pole in the river suggests that this is a dramatized photo.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number18‐13‐0]

    A fishing boat returning at sunset

    This is the mouth of the Rokugo River. This stereograph was sold in 1904 by Underwood & Underwood Co. The caption on the back reports that many Japanese artists like to draw this landscape and that so many people visit the area on festival days that the railway had to schedule a special train service.==Date:1904, Place:Tamagawa, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐90‐0]

      This photo captures a scene with a woman on a rickshaw feeding deer. It is hard to pinpoint the exact location, but it is probably the shrine approach of Kasuga Taisha, as stone lanterns are in the background. The woman is wearing kimono, Japanes-style chignon, and is holding a parasol. The rickshaw man is wearing zori sandals and a hat. This is a stereograph.==Date:1904, Place:Nara, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐21‐0]

In the backgound is a single-sailed boat called chabune.==Date:1904, Place:Matsushima, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐53‐0]

              A meal at an inn

              Although the name and location of the inn is unclear, the transom in the room, the lamp, and the screen suggest that this is a dinner scene at a high-class inn. It is interesting to see the guest and the server, the food served, the sake, the tea set, and the cigarette tray.==Date:1904, Place:Hiroshima, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐10‐0]

The two women, one with a parasol, are passengers on the rickshaw pulled by the man with an amigasa hat. Bamboo fencing made of bamboo grass tied to bamboo poles prevents the bamboo from encroaching upon the path. Taken prior to 1909, when the slope was expanded to a width of 7.2 meters.

                      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]
