The approach to Benzaiten,Shinobazu Pond

Deai-jaya (teahouses for dating) lined the approach to Nakanoshima until 1877. The circumference of Shinobazu Pond was filled in in 1868. The fact that this work is yet to be completed in this photograph indicates that it was taken before that year. The torii gate of Toshogu Shrine is visible in the centre back.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐24‐0]

The theatre district in Dotonbori

The flags on the right are advertising motion pictures, indicating that this photograph was taken after 1897.

Kagami-ike (Mirror Pond), Todaiji Temple

This is Kagami-ike (Mirror Pond) located at the southeast of Chumon Gate of Todaiji Temple. Since Mt. Wakakusa is visible afar, this is the view from the Nanboku (lit.
