          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.

            A cargo carrier

            Three thousand ryo a day falls where it must. This senryu poem means that everyday people spend three thousand ryo (monetary unit in the Edo Period), one thousand in the fish market in the morning, one thousand in the theatres during the daytime, and one thousand in the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter in the evening. There was a fish market on the east side of the northern edge of Nihonbashi Bridge during the Edo Period. The man in this photograph is selling fish he just bought at the fish market. Probably taken near Nihonbashi. Since there was no refrigeration then, fish had to be sold within a day and people ate fresher fish than today. This stereograph is dated 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐77‐0]
