The ferries,Mukojima

The area in front of Chomeiji Temple was called Kototoi-no-Oka. In 1869, Kototoi-tei opened and its Kototoi dumplings became a Mukojima specialty along with the cherry rice cakes of Chomeiji Temple. The shop curtain on the right seems to say Kototoi dango (dumplings), indicating that this is Kototoi-tei. Kototoi dumplings are still a local specialty at Mukojima. Taken in the mid-Meiji Period. Same as photograph #2664.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐43‐0]

    A fishing boat returning at sunset

    This is the mouth of the Rokugo River. This stereograph was sold in 1904 by Underwood & Underwood Co. The caption on the back reports that many Japanese artists like to draw this landscape and that so many people visit the area on festival days that the railway had to schedule a special train service.==Date:1904, Place:Tamagawa, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐90‐0]

      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 north part of the city of Nagasaki and Nagasaki Harbour

        This photograph taken from Mt. Kazagashira captures the central part of Nagasaki and the elevated area where the Nagasaki Prefecture Office, Nagasaki City Hall and Daikoku-machi are situated, with Urakami Shinden on the right. The date is around 1887. Nakashima River is visible in the centre. This provides a view of the densely populated downtown area of Nagasaki city in the mid-Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number106‐41‐0]
          Sakurababa Weir of Nakashima River

          Sakurababa Weir of Nakashima River

          This is a scene of the Sakurababa and Irabayashi neighbourhoods near the fork of Nakashima River and Narutaki River (present-day Nakanohashi bridge). This scenery was given the poetic name Sakuraba Seiran (cherry blossom storm) and was known as one of the eight best scenes of Nagasaki. The area beyond the building on the right, known as Nakagawa Carlsbad, was famous for its cherry blossoms and baths prepared with the same mineral ingredients as those in Carlsbad (present-day Czech Republic).==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐18‐0]

            A family celebrating their child

            The boys are probably brothers with their older sister. They wear haori coats and hakama trousers. The woman holding the younger brother on her knees is probably the mother and the woman on the right her mother-in-law. A woven bamboo basket containing rice cakes or perhaps chimaki dumplings is nearby. This is probably a photograph to commemorate a Meiji Period Shichi-go-san children's day festival, because the padded clothing indicate early winter.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐2‐0]

              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]

                Cherry trees at Mukojima

                Although not visible here, Sumida River is on the left. This is the view from Boku-tei (riverbank) facing upstream. There are many famous historical places at Mukojima such as Ushijima Shinto Shrine (also called Ushi-no-Gozen), Chomeiji Temple which is famous for its sakuramochi (cherry-flavoured rice cakes), Mokuboji Temple, site of Umewaka Mound, Kofukuji Temple with its statue of Hotei, and Mukojima Hyakkaen (Hundred Flower) Park. Yaomatsu Restaurant and the Kototoi Dumpling Shop opened here in the early Meiji Period. Mukojima was a popular among the cultural elite.

                    A leisure boat on the Sumida River

                    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]
