A chrysanthemum fair

A chrysanthemum fair

The beautiful chrysanthemum garden in autumn at Dangozaka in Komagome (today the slope is located between Sendagi 1-chome and 2-chome). Each gardening shop made its own presentation of a tasteful chrysanthemum garden. Chrysanthemum dolls were also an attraction. One of the displays depicted a scene from a Kabuki play using chrysanthemum dolls. The event reached a peak of popularity around 1887 and later disappeared when the chrysanthemum dolls displayed at Ryogoku Kokugikan (National Sports centre) gained popularity from the end of the Meiji Period. Probably taken around 1897.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐118‐0]

    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]

          Cherry trees at Yasukuni Shrine,Kudan

          Children enjoy the cherry blossoms while babysitting. Several hundred plum and cherry trees were planted at Yasukuni Shinto Shrine, and today there are said to be about 1,000 cherry trees there. The arrival of the cherry blossom season is predicted on the basis of the cherry trees at this shrine. The main hall enshrines a holy mirror made of ebony by Goto Kosuke and embellished with imaginary birds, dragons, chrysanthemum flowers and paulownia leaves. The window panes were made in Germany.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐58‐0]

            A chrysanthemum exhibition at Dangozaka

In addition to chrysanthemum dolls, rows of chrysanthemum blossoms were also displayed, as in this photograph.
