The trademark of Yokohama Photo Studio

The Yokohama Photograph Company was established at No.16 in the foreign settlement in 1884 by Usui Shuzaburo (an apprentice of Shimooka Renjo)and his partner David Welsh. Usui seems to have been in charge of taking the photographs while Welsh took care of marketing. The name of art dealer Deakin Brothers is written on the sail of the boat in the centre. The two companies were located next to each other on the same lot.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐1‐0]

    Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

    Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

    This is a old-fashioned cargo boat, or Bezai boat. The sail has been folded, and the boat is anchored. Tagonoura was a port where boats used to come and go during the Edo period with rice from the Bakufu territory of Kashima. The wooden bridge casts a beautiful shadow on the surface of the water. * A photo taken from the same angle entitled Fuji from Tagonoura 1880s Kinpei Album is included in the End of the Bakufu Era and Meiji in Photos edited by Ozawa Kenji (p.67).==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number13‐17‐0]
      Mt. Fuji seen from Kashiwabara

      Mt. Fuji seen from Kashiwabara

      Kashiwabara is located on the left bank of the mouth of Katsumata River, which pours into Suruga Bay. This may be the low wetlands near the mouth of the river. A sailing boat can be seen to the left and Mt. Fuji in the centre. The cameraman may have taken the photo from a boat. In the Morse Collection at the Salem Peabody Museum, there is a photo which is believed to be developed from the same negative as this photo.

        Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

        Mt.Fuji viewed from the mouth of the Numa River in the port of Tagonoura. Numa River starts flowing from Miyauchi (presently Fujinomiya city) and flows into the sea at Tagonoura. The white sail of a boat is seen. The boat may be a ferry, since passengers can be seen.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number4‐21‐0]

          Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

          The boat is probably the cargo vessel of the time, the Bezai boat. The sail has been folded, and the boat is anchored with a straw matting. Tagonoura was a port of the Edo era for Sengokubune (junk boats with capacity for one thousand koku of rice) of the Shogunate that came in and out from Kashima, a territory of the Shogunate. The shadow of the wooden bridge is beautiful. * A photo taken from the same angle is included in the book edited by Ozawa Kenji The End of the Bakufu and Meiji in Pictures , entitled Mt.Fuji from Tagonoura 1880s Kinpei album ( p.67).==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number14‐1‐0]
            Ferries,the Sumida River

            Ferries,the Sumida River

            Probably the ferry dock called Takeya-no-Watashi at Mukojima. Another photograph taken downstream shows these people at the same time. Stone steps descend to the river from where the man is standing in the centre, and the ferry dock called Terashima-no-Watashi is visible upstream. However, the boat depicted here is not a ferry but a yanebune (roofed boat) used for entertainment. This is one of the photographs in the album sold at Kinpei Photograph Studio, indicating that it was taken by Kusakabe Kinbei in the early Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐31‐0]

              Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

              With Mt. Fuji topped with white snow in the background, a rickshaw, people and aged person appear on the wooden bridge over Numa River. The boat has one mast, and a square sail is placed in the middle. This is probably a cargo boat of the time called Bezai boat. The bay with Mt. Fuji in the background is a very popular scene in Japan.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number10‐15‐0]
                A leisure boat on the Sumida River

                A leisure boat on the Sumida River

                This same photograph was carried in a special issue of Asahi Graph published by Tokyo Asahi Newspaper in 1925 to commemorate the centennial of photography in Japan, under the heading Boat Outing on Tokyo Sumida River with Uchida Kuichi around 1874. The caption says that the man leaning on the railing in the centre is Uchida Kuichi and that the photograph belongs to Hirata Kenichi. The fashion-conscious Uchida usually wore Western-style clothes in photographs, so this is a rare shot of him wearing a kimono.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐20‐0]
                  A leisure boat on the Sumida River

                  A leisure boat on the Sumida River

                  Like photographs #2665 and #4543, this was taken at the bank of Imado River in front of Yumei-ro at the mouth of Sanya-bori. Ushijima Shinto Shrine, also called Ushi-no-Gozen (presently located at Mukojima 1-chome, downstream) and Choumeiji Temple are amid the tall trees at the rear. The person leaning on the handrail in the centre may be Uchida Kuichi. If so, this photograph was probably taken by his apprentice. The photograph was sold after being trimmed and tinted.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐44‐0]

                    Matsushima

                    Matsushima, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan. In the centre of the photo, a pine tree on a small island is bent in the shape of the Japanese kana character ku , and to its right, a small boat floats with sail spread to its right. The view in the distance is not clear. A pine branch is seen in the upper left, suggesting that the photo was taken from the island where the pine was growing.==Date:unknown, Place:Matsushima, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number8‐38‐0]
