Motomiya Garden,Hikone

Genkyu-en is the garden at the former second residence of the Ii family in the San-no-maru section of Hikone Castle. It was completed by the 4th feudal lord of the Oumi Domain, Ii Naooki, in 1679. The name is derived from the villa of Chinese Emperor Xuanzong (685-763) of the Tang Dynasty. The Rinchi-kaku and other buildings are carefully positioned around the pond with trees and unusual stones. The building in the photograph was used as an inn and restaurant from the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Shiga, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐60‐0]

      Kinkakuji Temple

      The Golden Pavilion at Rokuon-ji Temple seen from the eastern edge of Kyoko Pond, facing west-northwest. The rock on the left is Hosokawa-ishi, and Ashihara Island is visible behind. The temple was built in 1398 but destroyed by arson in 1950. Unlike the reconstructed building of today, the original roof was supported by many columns at each level. Water weeds fill the surface of the pond. Pine forest surrounds the area. The background is unclear due to the poor colouration.

        This is Shichishoen at Mukojima, the villa of the Hotta family, former feudal lords of the Sakura Clan. The villa was owned by the family from 1868 to 1887. Of kaiyushiki (garden with a pond and promenade style), the garden was watered by the Sumida River and changed according to the tides. It was referred to as one of the best gardens in Tokyo.

            Hotta Garden,Mukojima

            The water level here is higher than in photograph #4442. The landscaped rocks by the shore are underwater and the garden looks different. A banner with the crest of the Hotta family is visible over the wisterias on the far left. The neighbour's tiled roof visible over the foliage in the centre is not apparent in #4442. Thus, this photograph must have been taken somewhat later.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐26‐0]

                    Owari Garden

                    This is probably Shimo Ofuke Garden in Ofukemaru, located in the northern part of the Honmaru and Ninomaru areas of Nagoya Castle. This garden is said to have represented a sort of fairyland or utopia, consisting of 14 islands, big and small, such as Matsubara-jima and Takefuji-jima in a huge lotus pond. In 1889, it was purchased by the Department of the Army and turned into a military drill field. In 1908, part of the Ofukemaru area became an imperial villa. This is a valuable photograph because none of these scenes remain today.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagoya, Photo:R.

                      Scene of an inn

                      The garden contains various trees, and lanterns and landscaping stones decorate the garden on the slope. The hotel entrance has a karahafu style roof. Inoue Mankichi Inoue of Nagasaki Prefecture bought a sub-temple called Yaami from Anyoji Temple at Maruyama in 1879, then renovated it in Western style and opened it as the Yaami Hotel. Many foreigners stayed here, but the building burned down in 1906. The electric pole indicates that this photograph was taken after 1892.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number46‐85‐0]
