A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

Cedar trees line the street near present-day Imaichi City. The sides of the streets and the area around the roots of the trees are surprisingly clean. Various tracks are visible on the surface of the road, perhaps reflecting the time when modes of transportation were diversifying to include rickshaws, stagecoaches and buses.==Date:unknown, Place:Nikko, Photo:R.

        Cherry trees at Mukojima

        Cherry trees at Mukojima

        The area across Sumida River from Asakusa is Mukojima. There is no official boundary, but area from Mokuboji Temple to Makura Bridge is referred to as Mukojima. The banks of Sumida River at Mukojima are called Sumida-tei or Boku-tei. Cherry trees were planted here during the Kyoho Period (1716-36) by the 8th Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, and saplings were planted from time to time thereafter. This area thus became the most popular place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Edo. Taken around 1898.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐40‐0]
