A teahouse with a wisteria trellis

A teahouse with a wisteria trellis

Kameido Tenjin Shrine was the most famous wisteria-blossom viewing place in Tokyo. This is probably Kameido Tenjin Shrine, because the stone lantern is very similar to that portrayed in photograph #4511, and because there seems to be a pond in the background. However, there is no definite proof. Probably taken in the mid-Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐34‐0]

The wisteria blossoms at Kameido Tenjin Shrine are said to be the best in Tokyo, and they were chosen as one of the New Best One Hundred Scenes of Tokyo. 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 Number97‐67‐0]
