Asakusa Kannon Shrine seen from the twelve-level Ryounkaku,Asakusa

Sensoji Temple seen from Ryounkaku. There are many photographs of Ryounkaku, but few photographs were taken from that building. Kannon-do is in the centre, with the five-story pagoda and Niomon (gate) to the right. The area in front and to the left of Kannon-do was commonly called Okuyama. Street performers made presentations there. The building in the left foreground is Hana Yashiki (Flower House). The five-story Okuyamakaku (Ho'okaku) is visible. This was probably taken soon after the construction of Ryounkaku in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐38‐3]

        The gate to Takanawa Tozenji Temple,the British Legation

        This stereograph bears the caption View taken from the United States Legation, at Yedo and is said to depict Tempukuji Temple in Azabu, but this is incorrect. The temple is actually Tozenji, located in present-day Takanawa 3-chome. The Shogunate concluded a treaty pact with Great Britain (Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Commerce) in 1858, and Tozenji Temple was designated as the site of the British Legation. This was taken by Swiss Pierre Rossier at the end of the Edo Period. This is a side view of the sanmon gate, also seen in photographs #3420 and #3443.==Date:1859, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Pierre Rossier, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number70‐7‐0]

          Asakusa-dori Avenue

          Like photograph #2276, this is a northern view from the entrance of Nakamise, the present location of Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate). The shopping area between Kaminarimon and Niomon is called Nakamise. Legend has it that the priests of Sensoji Temple asked the local people to keep the temple grounds clean and in return gave them permission to set up shops there. Buildings of brick construction were erected in 1885 in imitation of the Ginza Street. Probably taken around 1896.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐99‐0]

              The flags on the right are advertising motion pictures, indicating that this photograph was taken after 1897. Since telephone poles are visible only in photographs depicting the Sumi-za area around the year 1907, this photograph was undoubtedly taken close to that date.==Date:1904, Place:Osaka, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐44‐0]
