Insho-tei,Ueno Park

The roof visible behind and above Insho-tei teahouse is the time bell at Kaneiji Temple. This bell is alluded to in Matsuo Basho's haiku Clouds of flowers, From where tolls the bell, Ueno or Asakusa? There were nine bell locations within the city of Edo, and these were used to mark the time every two hours. The bells served the role of clocks in medieval times. Even now they are rung at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐37‐0]

    Insho-tei,Ueno Park

    A caravan of rickshaws carrying people to view the cherry blossoms at Ueno Park. This photograph was taken some time after photograph #3155. The Seiyoken Annex sign is gone, and the cherry trees have grown. Shades are hanging from the eaves of the teahouse on the left, and its name, Insho-tei is written thereon. On the right, the Great Buddha still has its halo. Probably taken around 1895.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐47‐0]

      In front of Seiyo-ken Restaurant,Ueno Park

      The smaller size of the cherry trees on the right indicates that this photograph was taken some time before photographs #2425 and 2651. However, the date is later than photograph #4799 by Usui Shuzaburo because the cherry trees have grown. The sign board of the Seiyoken Annex faces in a direction different from that in photograph #4799. Insho-tei appears in a 1891stone print by Katsuyama Eizaburo, but since the cherry trees are somewhat taller in that print, this photograph was probably taken around 1887.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number64‐53‐0]
