Isaba-sen and benzai-sen,transport ships,in oura NAGASAKI

Large and middle-sized Benzai boats and Isaba boats at Oura, Nagasaki. The two at the right are relatively large Benzai boats built in the Kansai style of about 1000 koku , and the one in the center is a middle size of about 500 koku. The one to the left, which is small and has a different form, is probably the Isaba boat that was popular in the Kansai area for travel over short distances.==Date:1877, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number21‐18‐0]

    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]

      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]

        A leisure boat on the Sumida River

        Scene of entertainment in a boat on Sumida River. People used these boats to enjoy the cherry blossoms, visit famous historical places along the river, and to drink sake at restaurants. The flow of the river, controlled by embankments on both sides, was gentle enough to let people relax on the roof of the boats. This is probably impossible today, because the riverbanks have been reinforced with concrete and the flow is no longer gentle.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number91‐15‐0]

          The ferries,Mukojima

          The area in front of Chomeiji Temple was called Kototoi-no-Oka. In 1869, Kototoi-tei opened and its Kototoi dumplings became a Mukojima specialty along with the cherry rice cakes of Chomeiji Temple. The shop curtain on the right seems to say Kototoi dango (dumplings), indicating that this is Kototoi-tei. Kototoi dumplings are still a local specialty at Mukojima. Taken in the mid-Meiji Period. Same as photograph #2664.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐43‐0]

            People enjoy a boat ride. The two women on the left are wearing kimono of different colors with splashed patterns. The woman on the right has her hair in Shimada style with a red cloth in the bangs. This is a hairstyle called yakko shimada that was popular among young women aged 13 to 17. The size of the boat and setting suggest that this photograph was taken in a studio.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:A.

                  Downstream area of Oura River

                  Downstream area of Oura River

                  This photo is taken halfway up the Oura River looking downstream. The street light was particular to the foreign settlement. The bridge downstream is Benten Bridge and the mountain on the other side of Nagasaki Port is Mt. Inasa. A boat called ‘sanpan’, used to fetch goods from the ships offshore, is moored. The area, ‘Sagarimatsu’, was named after the pine tree on the left. The roof of Myogyoji Temple is barely discernable. The Sagarimatsu area was the foreign settlement’s town center with a bar for foreigners, a restaurant, an inexpensive international hotel, and a shop selling goods for foreigners and until around 1900, the place for locals to socialize.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

                      Kashiwabara is located on the left bank of the mouth of Katsumata River, which pours into Suruga Bay. This may be the low wetlands near the mouth of the river. A sailing boat can be seen to the left and Mt. Fuji in the centre. The cameraman may have taken the photo from a boat. In the Morse Collection at the Salem Peabody Museum, there is a photo which is believed to be developed from the same negative as this photo.
