Matsushima

This is Rakanjima Island as seen from the beach at the tip of Kunoshima, located near Fukuurajima Island. At present, the right side of Rakanjima has collapsed, as many of the pines in Matsushima Bay have fallen victim to the pine-eating nematode beetle. However this photo demonstrates the lush pine cover of the island in those days.==Date:unknown, Place:Matsushima, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number86‐16‐0]

A deformed rock in Matsushima Bay

This is a magnificient view of the famous Zaimoku Island, an interesting geological arch formed by erosion. The layered sedimentary rock of this island teaches us much about the origins of Matsushima Bay. Unfortunately, the arch was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1969. Then an off-shore earthquakein 1978 in Miyagi Prefecture destroyed what remained, and no geographical elements depicted in this photo can be seen any longer.==Date:1904, Place:Matsushima, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐54‐0]
