A view of Sakurajima Volcano from the harbour

This photograph depicting the battery of Satsuma and a distant view of Sakurajima was taken by Uchida Kuichi when the photographer accompanied Emperor Meiji on his trip around western Japan in 1872. Funagata Battery (Shinhato Battery) is seen from the mouth of Namekawa River. The boat in front of the battery could be the one used by the Ryukyu (Okinawa) officials Toyomigusuku-uehkata, Ikegusuku-uehkata, and Amuro-uehkata to meet the emperor.==Date:1872, Place:Kagoshima, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number66‐7‐0]

        Eruption of Mt. Asama

        Mt. Asama is a three-layered composite volcano. This photograph captures a researcher taking shots of the smoke and his assistant at the edge of the mouth of Mt. Kamayama (2568m), the central crater. Official record keeping of Mt. Asama eruptions started only after 1886. This photograph was taken in 1904, during a lull in the mid-Meiji Period (1894-1908) when volcanic activity was relatively minor. ==Date:1904, Place:Nagano, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐61‐0]

          Going down the Hozu River

          A yakata boat descending Hozu River is seen from the northern bank. The Kyoto Railway Company tracks and a tunnel are visible on the right. People took the approximately 16km boat ride from Hozu Town in Kameoka to Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama. The river boats that carried lumber and goods from Tanba Kameoka to Kyoto were converted to leisure boats at the end of the Meiji Period when the Kyoto Railway was established. This photograph was taken sometime after August 1899, when the line between Kyoto and Sonobe opened.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐11‐0]

            Mt. Fuji seen from Lake Yamanaka, the biggest of the five lakes at the foot of the mountain. The photograph captures the reflection of Mt. Fuji in the lake and a fisherman in a boat.

                    Going down the Hozu River

                    A raft shooting rapids is seen from the northern shore of the Hozu River. Boatmen are sitting on the rocks observing the scene. People took the approximately 16km boat ride from Hozu Town in Kameoka to Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama. The river boats that carried lumber and goods from Tanba Kameoka to Kyoto were converted to leisure boats at the end of the Meiji Period when the Kyoto Railway was established. This may have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐26‐0]

                      The Yokohama foreign settlement seen from Yamate

                      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]
