Garden with iris in bloom

Garden with iris in bloom

An unpretentious view of an iris garden. This is rare among the old photos, which usually portray beautiful women. It is a sort of snap shot, and gives this photo a lively oppearance. The rickshaw on the left edge evokes the feeling of the times.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number19‐16‐0]

        A woman on the jinrikisha,Kasuga Shrine

        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]

            The Tamadare Falls

            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. A stereograph.==Date:1904, Place:Hakone, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐85‐0]

                Stereograph depicting rickshaws on the Gojo-zaka slope surrounded by bamboo groves. The two women, one with a parasol, are passengers on the rickshaw pulled by the man with an amigasa hat.

                    The Hakone post town and a girl in a palanquin

                    This is the view from Shin-machi of the post town of Hakone when facing Hakone checkpoint. The mountain behind is Komagadake. The street where the palanquin men are is Tokaido Highway (present-day National Route 1). The house on the right is facing toward southwest and a child and an old man are enjoying the sun. Judging from their clothes, it appears to be either late autumn or early spring. The girl on the palanquin is probably a tourist.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐25‐0]
