Fukiage Park,the Imperial Palace

Fukiage Park,the Imperial Palace

The residences of feudal lords were formerly located here as protection on the west side of Edo Castle. However, the area was converted to a garden after the great fire of the Meireki Period in 1657. The garden was designed in exact detail, right down to the location of each stone and tree. There were apparently two waterfalls in the garden, one at the southern edge of Oike (Great Pond) in the centre of the garden and the other near Takimi Teahouse. Since there is foliage, this photograph probably depicts the waterfall near the teahouse. Probably taken between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.

    The location of the photograph is the same as that in #4198. But the pulley of the well is slung over a branch of the overhanging tree, whereas in #4198, it is slung on a stick crossing poles on either side of the well. The people sitting on the bench seem to be workers at the teahouse.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number93‐8‐0]

      A teahouse at Oji

      The garden of Ogiya Restaurant is on the left. The water is flowing through grooves in the rocks apparently made by long exposure. Felice Beato took a similar photograph of the garden at the beginning of the Meiji Period and added the caption: Stream with a rushing waterfall. Also, a similar photograph was published in an 1872 issue of The Far East entitled, Waterfall at O-jee from the Tea-House Garden. Taken between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of the Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number78‐34‐0]

        The entrance to Mt. Nunobiki

        Mid to late Meiji Period. The road in the centre led to Nunobuki Falls and thus was called Takimichi (waterfall road). Although not visible in this photograph, the residence of Kawasaki Shozo, founder of present-day Kawasaki Ship Building, Co. Inc, was located nearby. Kawasaki also founded a museum in 1890. His family temple, Tokukoin Temple, which no longer exists, used to be on the other side of Isagoyama Mountain, visible here on the right.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐23‐0]

            Street View on a Public Holiday

            A street in Nagasaki bustles with the convivial atmosphere of Kunchi festival. The location is unknown. Japanese national flags augment the festivity. A public water faucet is visible on the side of the street. Since the water supply pipes were installed in 1891, this photograph is of that period. The street is about 5.5 metres wide, and the stone pavement is neatly constructed. The downtown area of Nagasaki still exudes the atmosphere of the Edo Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number107‐8‐0]

              This is a view of the Karamon Gate at the Hall of Worship in the mausoleum from the inside. The area in front of the pillars on both sides is the front corridor. This photograph portrays some of the splendid interior decoration of the mausoleum. The stone lanterns donated by feudal lords stand solemnly outside the Chokugaku Gate in the centre.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐31‐0]

                The people outside are all wearing jackets with cotton lining and the people upstairs are holding something like hand towels. This is probably a spa, not a teahouse. The garden seems to be built in chisenkaiyushiki style with a splendid stone assembly around the pond. A tropical tree, probably a palm, is visible in the background. The location is unknown.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐5‐0]

                    Nunobiki Falls

                    Medaki of Nunobiki Falls, located in present-day Chuo Ward. The presence of the wooden bridge and teahouse indicate that the photograph was taken in the mid-Meiji Period. A facility to draw water (cylindrical stone structure) was completed in 1899, so this shows the scenery before that date. The waterfall is high and its flow abundant.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐12‐0]
