The ferries,Mukojima

The square pillar in the centre foreground is a mail box. Made of pine and painted black, mail boxes were placed on the streets of Japan for the first time in 1872. Foundation stones were placed under the mail boxes starting in 1887, so the mail box in this photograph was taken after 1887. Same as photograph #2657.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐49‐0]

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]

Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

Northeastern view of Mt. Fuji from the bank of Fuji River at Iwabuchi in Fujigawa-machi. The ferry port of Iwabuchi is in the foreground, and Matsuoka Sui Shinto Shrine of Fuji City is visible in the forest on the other side. The bridge between the shrine and Iwabuchi is not visible in this photograph, perhaps because it had been recently washed away, which often happened due to the rapid flow of Fuji River. The mountain on the left is Mt. Iwamoto, and pine trees line the other side of the river.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐16‐0]

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]

The Katsura River

Hozugawa Valley looking upstream. The topography suggests that this was taken from the valley at the west entrance of Asahi Tunnel on the former Japan National Railroad San'in Line, facing northwest. Mt. Ushimatsu is visible in the centre. Since no railroad tracks are visible, the photograph was probably taken before the opening of Sagano-Sonobe Line of Kyoto Railway in August 1899. Taken by Tamamura Kozaburo.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number68‐13‐0]

A yakatabune (a leisure boat)

The same as the photo numbered 12-28. Many people are riding this river-going houseboat and two helmsmen take the scaffold. The other twelve people are probably passengers. Each passenger poses differently. It is probably a dramatized photo of a boat picnic or a ferryboat.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number13‐18‐0]

Mt. Fuji seen from Kashiwabara

Kashiwabara is located on the left bank of the mouth of Katsumata River, which pours into Suruga Bay. This may be the low wetlands near the mouth of the river. A sailing boat can be seen to the left and Mt. Fuji in the centre. The cameraman may have taken the photo from a boat. In the Morse Collection at the Salem Peabody Museum, there is a photo which is believed to be developed from the same negative as this photo.

Ferry boat

The embankment at Biwajima Benten was a landing spot for ferries crossing Hiragata Bay to Nojima. Most of the passengers are probably pilgrims from the Boso Peninsula traveling to Oyama. Today, Biwajima Benten is the last station on the Kanazawa Seaside Railroad Line. The byakushin trees (Juniperus chinensis) with white trunks in the photograph are still thriving today near Kanazawa Hakkei Station.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐44‐0]
