A wisteria trellis at Kameido Shrine

This area was formerly an island shaped like a turtle. It was later connected to the mainland and Kame-mura (Turtle Village) was established. The well dug there was called Kamenoi (Turtle Well). Sometime later, Kame-mura became confused with Kamenoi and the village came to be called Kameido-mura. It is said that during the Edo Period, it was called Kamedo-mura without the i sound. Due to its name, many people brought turtles here. Today, there are still many turtles in the pond, but most are imported species.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, 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 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.
