The Tokaido Road and Mt. Fuji

The Tokaido Road and Mt. Fuji

Northern view of Mt. Fuji from the sand dune of Suzukawa in Fuji City. The pine trees crossing horizontally in the centre of the photograph mark the Tokaido Highway. Kawai Bridge lies between the two tall pine trees on the left and the thatched-roof house. Rice paddies stretch between the dune and the highway. The presence of train tracks indicate that this photograph was taken after the opening of the Tokaido Line in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐17‐0]

      This is probably a photo by Beato taken because of his interest in the pine boulevard along the Tokaido. The men on the road are probably not travelers but gardeners taking care of the pines.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:F.

                Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

                Northeastern view of Mt. Fuji from the bank of Fuji River at Iwabuchi in Fujigawa-machi. The ferry port of Iwabuchi is in the foreground, and Matsuoka Sui Shinto Shrine of Fuji City is visible in the forest on the other side. The bridge between the shrine and Iwabuchi is not visible in this photograph, perhaps because it had been recently washed away, which often happened due to the rapid flow of Fuji River. The mountain on the left is Mt. Iwamoto, and pine trees line the other side of the river.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐16‐0]

                  Viewing Oura Foreign Settlement from Japanese Garden next to Chief Officer’s Residence at Dejima

                  This is one of the oldest scenic photographs of Nagasaki. It was taken by Milton Miller, who came to Nagasaki in 1862, not long after the opening of Japan's doors in 1859. Miller seems to have visited the residence of the chief factor at the Dejima Dutch Factory. Taken from the garden beside the residence, the photograph provides a distant view of the foreign settlement where the 2nd phase of land reclamation work had reached completion and houses were being built. The column on the left is a flag pole to raise the Dutch national flag. The roof of Myogyoji Temple (temporary British Consulate at the time) is visible. The Glover house has not been built yet. This photograph is also contained in the Bauduin Collection donated to Leiden University.==Date:1861-62?, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number113‐8‐0]
