    Like #4949 and #4950, this is a stereograph made by the American company Underwood & Underwood. View from Mt. Suwa facing southwest. The cylindrical building on the right is science building of Eiwa Girls School (present-day Kobe Jogakuin School before relocation) completed in 1893.

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.

          View from the Motomachi Hyakudan. Maeda Bridge is visible in the right foreground across the Horikawa Waterway. The left side of the street across the bridge is the settlement land reclaimed from the harbour. Since the waterway embankment work had not yet been done and the bell tower of Yokohama Catholic Church at No.80 is not visible, this photograph was probably taken around 1868.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐27‐0]

              The Sanmon Gate at Sensoji Temple

              The Sanmon Gate at Sensoji Temple

              The sanmon (front gate) at Sensoji Temple was called Niomon because statues of the guardian deities Kongo Rikishi were installed on both the right and left (present-day Hozomon). Statues of Monju Bosatsu (Manjusri Bodhisattva) and Shiten (four angels) are installed on the second floor of the gate building. The plaque Sensoji is based on calligraphy by the head priest of the Tendai Sect, Ryosho Hoshin-o. This photograph was taken before brick buildings were erected in the Nakamise commercial area in 1885.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐123‐0]

                  The city of Nagasaki seen from Fukusaiji Temple

                  The city of Nagasaki seen from Fukusaiji Temple

                  This is a view from the cemetery at Fukusaiji Temple looking over central Nagasaki and the waterfront area from Daikoku-machi to Dejima. The re-routing of Nakashima River had not been completed at this time, so the date is between 1877 and 1887. Also, the construction of the new Urakami Road along the waterfront from Dejima to Goto-machi has not been completed yet. A cannon platform is visible near the edge of the pine tree. The open land in the centre is the site of the former Omura Clan residence.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐4‐0]
