A leisure boat on the Sumida River

A leisure boat on the Sumida River

Like photographs #2665 and #4543, this was taken at the bank of Imado River in front of Yumei-ro at the mouth of Sanya-bori. Ushijima Shinto Shrine, also called Ushi-no-Gozen (presently located at Mukojima 1-chome, downstream) and Choumeiji Temple are amid the tall trees at the rear. The person leaning on the handrail in the centre may be Uchida Kuichi. If so, this photograph was probably taken by his apprentice. The photograph was sold after being trimmed and tinted.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐44‐0]

        Arashiyama

        Arashiyama (Mt. Arashi) has a height of about 380 meters. It is located on the east edge of the Tanba Highlands and has Torigamine and Yamagamine to the northwest and Mt. Matsuo to the southeast. Hozu River runs from the north to the east at the northern foot of the mountain. A bamboo grove with a brushwood fence is shown at the bank of Hozu River, with hotels in the distance. A rickshaw with a woman passenger stands in front of the grove and a man stands nearby. The left side of the road is probably a boat anchorage. Two people stand with towels hanging from their necks.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number19‐6‐0]

                      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]
