A view of Sakurajima Volcano from the harbour

This photograph depicting the battery of Satsuma and a distant view of Sakurajima was taken by Uchida Kuichi when the photographer accompanied Emperor Meiji on his trip around western Japan in 1872. A middle sized Benzai boat floats on this side of the protruding embankment, and a boat with three masts can be slightly seen in the distance. A flat bottom boat carrying mud and sand crosses the fore.==Date:1872, Place:Kagoshima, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number37‐72‐0]

      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]
        Arashiyama

        Arashiyama

        Arashiyama (Mt. Arashi) has a height of about 380 meters. It is located on the east edge of the Tanba Highlands and has Torigamine and Yamagamine to the northwest and Mt. Matsuo to the southeast. Hozu River runs from the north to the east at the northern foot of the mountain. A bamboo grove with a brushwood fence is shown at the bank of Hozu River, with hotels in the distance. A rickshaw with a woman passenger stands in front of the grove and a man stands nearby. The left side of the road is probably a boat anchorage. Two people stand with towels hanging from their necks.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number19‐6‐0]

          The Yokohama foreign settlement seen from Yamate

          View from the Motomachi Hyakudan. Maeda Bridge is visible in the right foreground across the Horikawa Waterway. The left side of the street across the bridge is the settlement land reclaimed from the harbour. Since the waterway embankment work had not yet been done and the bell tower of Yokohama Catholic Church at No.80 is not visible, this photograph was probably taken around 1868.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐27‐0]

            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]

                The inner moat of the Imperial Palace

                The inner moat of the Imperial Palace

                View of Koji-machi and Hanzo-mon from the west side of Soto Sakurada-mon. The area where the Imperial Palace (former Edo Castle) faces the inner moat (Sakurada Moat) is called Hachimaki Doi. The stone wall was constructed only on the upper portion, and the rest was a gently curving earthen embankment. Old pines still remain inside the stone walls, and this is one of the most beautiful spots in Tokyo. The Watari watchtower of Hanzo-mon, which was removed in 1871, is visible, indicating that this photograph was taken at the beginning of the Meiji Period. The photographer is Felix Beato.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number62‐35‐0]

The Kodera family residence is visible, surrounded by walls on the right of the main street running north-south. The area beyond the residence and to the left (east) is the present-day hub of the Hyogo Prefecture administration and site of both the Prefecture Office and Prefecture Police Headquarters. The photograph, taken about 20 years after the opening of Kobe port, shows the town expanding from the coast to the mountain side.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number88‐1‐0]

                      Hakodate city and harbour from the side of Mt. Hakodate. The colours are rough and have faded away, so the image is rather unclear.
