Lake Biwa seen from Miidera Temple

View of Otsu from Kannondo at Miidera Temple (official name: Enjoji Temple). Enjoji is the 14th temple in the circuit of 33 Holy Kannon Temples of Western Japan. The canal in the centre is the Lake Biwa Waterway built in 1890 to supply drinking water, generate electricity, and facilitate transportation. The state of the surroundings suggests that this photograph was taken soon after the completion of the waterway.==Date:unknown, Place:Otsu, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐103‐0]

      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]

          The Dutch Lantern,Toshogu Shrine,Nikko

          The temple compounds in front of the Yomei Gate from the side of the Honchido. The turning lantern donated by the Dutch King is placed to the right corner, and the lotus lantern donated by the King of Ryukyu is placed in the centre. On the left is a bell donated by the Kinf of Korea. There is a small opening at the top of the bell which looks as if it were eaten by a bug, and so it is called Mushikui kane (bug-eaten bell).==Date:unknown, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number14‐10‐0]

                The Hondo (inner sanctuary) of Kuonji Temple,Mt. Minobu

                Soshido Seishinkaku at Minobusan Kuonji Temple, headquarters of the Nichiren Sect of Japanese Buddhism. This temple is located in Minobu-machi, Minamikoma-gun, Yamanashi Prefecture. Seishinkaku is the place where a famous statue of Nichiren, the founder of the sect, is located. However, the building erected in the Edo Period was destroyed by fire in 1875. This photograph depicts the new building erected in 1881. The state of the surroundings suggests that it was taken soon after construction.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐33‐0]

                  Nagasaki Kiyomizudera Temple

                  This is a distant view of Kiyomizu Temple, said to have been founded by the priest Keijun who came to Nagasaki with a Buddhist statue in 1623. Historical documents state that the Kawarado (tiled temple building) in the centre, which was modeled after Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto with stone handrails surrounding it, was donated by Matsukura Shigemasa, lord of Shimabara Castle. The main temple building was added by Chinese resident He Gaocai in 1668. It is rather uncommon to use an arched doorway other than in the front hallway. Many people visit this temple to pray for the safe delivery of babies.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐35‐0]
