A teahouse in Yokohama Park

Yokohama Park was opened in 1877 as a Western-style park for the use of both Japanese and foreigners. In 1909, after the abolition of the foreign settlement, the entire park came under the management of Yokohama City. A fountain and flower beds were added, and the cherry blossoms attracted many visitors.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:A.

Nunobiki Falls

Medaki waterfall at Nunobiki Falls, taken around the same time as photographs #2814 and 2827 (Medaki Waterfall of Nunobiki). The presence of the wooden bridge over the river and the teahouse and the absence of a water supply pump suggest that this was taken on the mid-Meiji Period. It seems to be a scene in summer, when many visitors came to enjoy the cool air.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:A.

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]

The stage of Kiyomizudera Temple,Kyoto

Balcony of the main hall of Kiyomizu Temple seen from Okuno-in, facing west-northwest. Among the sightseers there are women with parasols. It is probably the beginning of summer because the trees are lush with leaves. The terrace was renovated in 1633. The building is in the yosemune style, and the roof is made entirely of hinoki tree bark. Wings flank the west side and the east and west of the south side. Jinushi Shinto Shrine is partially visible behind the main hall. The wooden fencing inside the railing was apparently installed to prevent people from falling.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:A.
