Iris flowers in a pond

There are many photos in this collection of the irises at Horikirien in Tokyo. Since there is no caption for this picture, the place is unknown. But it may also be Horikirien. The irises and water surface reflecting the sky contrast beautifully and form an effective structure.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number31‐50‐0]

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.

Hotta Garden,Mukojima

The water level here is higher than in photograph #4442. The landscaped rocks by the shore are underwater and the garden looks different. A banner with the crest of the Hotta family is visible over the wisterias on the far left. The neighbour's tiled roof visible over the foliage in the centre is not apparent in #4442. Thus, this photograph must have been taken somewhat later.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐26‐0]
