    Western-style buildings in the Oura foreign settlement

    This photo captures the back of trading company buildings and consulates along Oura coast street in the mid Meiji period. The street on the right is paved with stones and a rickshaw, a typical mode of transportation, is parked. A number of commercial ships and war vessels are anchored in the port illustrating Nagasaki Port’s golden trade period.

              Western view of the northern part of Kyoto from the Yoshimizu Hot Spring building.

A two-story Western-style building of yosemune-zukuri style stands on the northeast side of the street where cherry blossoms would later become a tourist attraction. The Nishiyama Mountain Range is faintly visible in the background.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number52‐32‐0]
