Children playing in a small schoolyard

Children playing in a small schoolyard

The national school system began in 1872. In those days there were nearly 3,000 terakoya (old style temple schools) in Shinshu (Nagano Prefecture) educating commoners. These temple schools were instrumental in the spread of modern education. Although modern school buildings were built after 1874, Buddhist temples were still being used as schools even in 1904 when this photograph was taken.==Date:1904, Place:Karuizawa, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐63‐0]

                Two children (Amakasu brothers)

                Two children are sitting on a chair in a Western-style room. Although the photograph is rather unclear, the child on the left seems to be wearing a kimono with a children's sash while the one on the right is wearing Western-style clothing.==Date:1944, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number71‐64‐0]

                  Pupils playing war at Ueno Park

                  Children, possibly in elementary school, are fighting with wooden swords and tree branches, with adults watching from behind. This may be a kind of sports day. Ueno Park was the site of a battle between government and Shogitai (shogunate) troops. This photograph shows how times have changed, most notably the children's' hakama pants and sport caps.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐75‐0]

                    Women pilgriming in the Imperial Park

                    Female pilgrims climb the stone steps to Kondo Hall at Nin'naji Temple. The photograph was taken facing east from the eastern approach to Kan'nondo Hall. The women wear zori slippers, hold long walking sticks, and carry something on their backs. The irimoya-style building in the rear may be a place for drinking water. This may have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐39‐0]

                      Asakusa-dori Avenue

                      Like photograph #2276, this is a northern view from the entrance of Nakamise, the present location of Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate). The shopping area between Kaminarimon and Niomon is called Nakamise. Legend has it that the priests of Sensoji Temple asked the local people to keep the temple grounds clean and in return gave them permission to set up shops there. Buildings of brick construction were erected in 1885 in imitation of the Ginza Street. Probably taken around 1896.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐99‐0]
