                      Scene of entertainment in a boat on Sumida River. People used these boats to enjoy the cherry blossoms, visit famous historical places along the river, and to drink sake at restaurants. The flow of the river, controlled by embankments on both sides, was gentle enough to let people relax on the roof of the boats. This is probably impossible today, because the riverbanks have been reinforced with concrete and the flow is no longer gentle.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number91‐15‐0]
