The racecource in Ueno Park

The racecource in Ueno Park

The horse race track was built at Ueno Park in 1884 by filling in the area surrounding Shinobazu Pond. The left side of the fence next to the cherry trees is a one mile stretch. Horse racing was conducted not for gambling but for sheer entertainment. It is said that the Emperor's Cup started at this race track. The torii gate visible in the centre is part of Toshogu Shrine.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐51‐0]

The area of the racecourse is now used as Sports fields. Photograph by Shirley Baker Date: 1960

      The city of Kyoto seen from Maruyama

      Western view of the northern part of Kyoto from the Yoshimizu Hot Spring building. The road stretching from the centre of the photo to the left corner is the approach to Yasaka Shinto Shrine. Although the site would later become Maruyama Park, no work has been done yet, and a few restaurants stand in the area. A two-story Western-style building of yosemune-zukuri style stands on the northeast side of the street where cherry blossoms would later become a tourist attraction. The Nishiyama Mountain Range is faintly visible in the background.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number52‐32‐0]

              Minatogawa Shrine

              The main gate of Minatogawa Shinto Shrine seen from what is now Kobe Station, the starting point of the Tokaido Line in Chuo Ward. Probably taken in the mid-Meiji Period. The theater on the right is Daikoku-za, renovated in 1890. An ultra-modern lamp is installed at the front. This area was formerly an entertainment quarter bristling with shacks for plays, musume gidayu, acrobats, restaurants and so on.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:A.

                The approach to Enkakuji Temple,Kamakura

                View of the Enkakuji Temple entrance area from the site of present-day Kita-Kamakura Station. There are two gates facing the street in front of the temple. The one in the background is the southeast gate. The temple is on the other side of the bridge. A horse road passes behind the mound on the right. It is possible that commoners were forbidden to use this gate during the Edo Period. The rickshaw in the centre seems to be an early model, indicating that this photograph was taken at the beginning of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number86‐8‐0]
