    Western-style buildings in the Oura foreign settlement

    This photo captures the back of trading company buildings and consulates along Oura coast street in the mid Meiji period. The street on the right is paved with stones and a rickshaw, a typical mode of transportation, is parked. A number of commercial ships and war vessels are anchored in the port illustrating Nagasaki Port’s golden trade period. This photo is a good example of the clear, high quality photo tinting techniques of the time.==Date:Late Meiji (1898-1912), Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number75‐1‐0]

      A stone lantern and a woman,Kasuga Shrine

      A woman pointing at stone lanterns. The exact location of the photo cannot be determined. However, as there are many stone lanterns, it is definately within shrine precincts. It is a stereograph, and the photo was possibly taken around the same time as catalogue #4957, by the same photographer. The woman is wearing kimono, Japanese-style chignon, and holding a parasol.==Date:1904, Place:Nara, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐25‐0]
        The Shimabara-han Fief Second Residence

        The Shimabara-han Fief Second Residence

        This location is the present day Tsunazaka slope at Mita 2-chome. The house on the right was the residence of the Matsudairas of the Hizen(present day Nagasaki Prefecture) Shimabara-han fief, the house on the right going up the slope was the residence of the Matsudairas of the Iyo(present day Ehime Prefecture) Matsuyama-han fief, and the one on the left was the second residence of the Matsudairas of Mutsu(present day Aomori and part of Iwate Prefectures). Right now there stands Keio University at the bottom of the slope and the Italian Embassy on top of the slope. The site of the residences of Satohara-han and Matsuyama-han belongs to the Mitsui Club in Tsuna-machi. The photo is presumed to have been taken in 1863(the 3rd year of Bunkyu).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number36‐20‐0]

          Yakushi-do Temple,Motomura,Yokohama

          Motomachi, located at the foot of the Yamate area, was established when the residents of Yokohama Village moved here at the time of the opening of the port. Zotokuin Temple was located at the end of the main street (present day Motomachi-Dori). The building in this photograph is the Yakushi-do next to the main hall. The Yakushi-do was later moved to the Horikawa Waterway from its original location and still stands there today.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:A.

            Women

            Five women pose for the camera. Their hair is in shimada and seiyo-sagemaki style. The former features groomed bangs, side locks, and back hair. In the latter the hair is separated at the center of the forehead and pulled back behind the head. The garments such as the long coat, half-coat and padded kimono do not indicate any particular season. The photograph was probably taken just to show how Japanese women dressed at the time.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐4‐0]
              Along Oura River

              Along Oura River

              This is the settlement on the right bank of the Oura River around 1897. There’s a long row of large wooden western buildings. Rickshaws awaiting customers are lined up along the street with gas lights by the stone harbour walls. Small cargo vessels called sanpan that carry cargo to and from ships anchored off-shore are moored closely together. The pink western style building on the hill in the back is the Steele Memorial Academy. The building has been relocated to Glover Garden.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number58‐18‐0]

                Nagasaki Habour seen from Mt. Hoshitori

                Nagasaki Port viewed from Mt. Hoshitori (called Mt. Ohira at the time of the photo), overlooking the Oura foreign settlement. The promenade, built in 1867, around Dejima and the corral are visible. Shinchigura storehouse is to the right of that, the British Consulate behind the settlement. At the mouth of the Urakami River in the back of the bay lies Urakami-Shinden (present-day Mori-machi). Since the Dejima-Shinbashi Bridge, built in 1869, is not in the picture, this photo is presumed to have been taken around 1868.==Date:about 1868, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:F.

                  The same as a present day photo. Two middle aged women are photographed in outing clothes. This photo conveys the atmosphere of daily life. From the hairstyle and kimono worn, it must be a photo taken after the Showa.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number46‐140‐0]
