A suspension bridge by the Koshu Road

A suspension bridge by the Koshu Road

This photograph depicts a river with a suspension bridge in the background. Neither the name of the bridge nor the location is known, but since the inscription says, Along the Koshu Highway, and the scenery around Katsura River was similar at the time, this seems to be the area east of Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. However, this site could not be positively identified in Yamanashi, so it may also be a scene along the highway on the Sagami side of the river.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐13‐0]

    The Tokaido Highway near Suzukawa in Fuji City, facing west. One man is resting under the pine tree and another leaning on a pole.

      A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

      The cedars along Nikko Highway were donated by Matsudaira Masatsuna on the 33rd anniversary of the death of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. The building visible in the background probably stands near Oiwake Jizo. This area was beautiful at the time. The sky is visible between the trees. It is said that people could walk here by the light of the moon and stars.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐7‐0]

        A cargo boat on the Nihonbashi River

        View of Nihonbashi River looking west, taken from Nihonbashi Bridge. The river is busy with cargo boats. Mt. Fuji was visible from this spot on clear days. The left side of the river is Nishi-gashi (west riverside), and the bridge visible in the far right is Nishi (West) Bridge. 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. This stereograph was published in 1904 in a book-shaped case.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐78‐0]

          Nunobiki Falls

          Medaki waterfall at Nunobiki Falls, taken around the same time as photographs #2814 and 2827 (Medaki Waterfall of Nunobiki). The presence of the wooden bridge over the river and the teahouse and the absence of a water supply pump suggest that this was taken on the mid-Meiji Period. It seems to be a scene in summer, when many visitors came to enjoy the cool air.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:A.

              Teahouses along the Koshu Road

              Teahouses along the Koshu Road

              The bank of Katsura River, which separated the feudal domains of Sagami and Kai along the old Koshu Highway (present-day Uenohara-machi in southeastern Yamanashi Prefecture), seen from the east side (Sagami side) of the river. The buildings are teahouses standing along the highway, the existence of which is reported in travel journals as early as the Tenpo Period (1830-44). The mountain station Suwa-no-Sekisho (Kuchidome Bansho) is up the slope on the right. Mt. Gongen of Nakura is visible on the other side of Katsura River.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐10‐0]
                The Kamaguchi-bashi,a suspension bridge over the Fuji River

                The Kamaguchi-bashi,a suspension bridge over the Fuji River

                View, facing south, of the suspension bridge over Kamaguchi Gorge (a rugged section of Fuji River) between Naganuki in Shibakawa-cho and Setojima. The rapid flow of Fuji River makes bridges difficult to maintain. During the Edo Period, this was the only bridge over the river. Both banks are cliffs, and the width of the river is at its narrowest here. Several people are on the bridge, which is made of wisteria vines and planks. The village of Ozaki and Mt. Shiratori are visible in the background.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number64‐16‐0]
                  Sakurababa Weir of Nakashima River

                  Sakurababa Weir of Nakashima River

                  This is a scene of the Sakurababa and Irabayashi neighbourhoods near the fork of Nakashima River and Narutaki River (present-day Nakanohashi bridge). This scenery was given the poetic name Sakuraba Seiran (cherry blossom storm) and was known as one of the eight best scenes of Nagasaki. The area beyond the building on the right, known as Nakagawa Carlsbad, was famous for its cherry blossoms and baths prepared with the same mineral ingredients as those in Carlsbad (present-day Czech Republic).==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐18‐0]
                    Panoramic view of Nagasaki Harbour from across the shore

                    Panoramic view of Nagasaki Harbour from across the shore

                    This is a three-panel panoramic photograph depicting Ohato, Shinchi, the Oura waterfront, Matsugae Bridge, Minamiyamate, Kozone, Naminohira and Furukawa-machi. Shin-Ohashi, Umegasaki and Matsugae bridges have been built as part of the re-routing of Nakashima River, indicating that the date is around 1887. The left panel captures the entire view of Dejima, Shin-ohashi Bridge, Shinchi and Umegasaki, the centre panel the area from Umegasaki to Minamiyamate, the Russian Consulate and the central part of the foreign settlement, and the right panel the area from the central part of the foreign settlement to Furukawa-machi.

                      Nunobiki Falls

                      Nunobiki Falls

                      Odaki of Nunobiki Falls in the mid-Meiji Period. Because the Odaki and Medaki waterfalls have the appearance of stretched cloth, people started to call them the waterfalls of Nunobiki (pulled cloth). The Nunobiki Amusement Park was built by a private company in 1872, and the area was subsequently developed for entertainment purposes. This was taken around the same time as photograph #2816 (Stone Stairs of Mt. Maya).==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐10‐0]
