The hour bell and the five-story pagoda,Sensoji Temple

The five-story pagoda seen from the hour bell at Bentenyama. Since people did not use clocks in the Edo Period, they confirmed the time of day by listening to the temple bell. The bell was struck three times before the hour was announced. Thus, nine rings meant six o'clock in the morning. Taken by Uchida Kuichi in 1872 or 1873. It was later tinted and sold as a Yokohama photograph.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐6‐0]

              The gate to Takanawa Tozenji Temple,the British Legation

              Tozenji Temple became the site of the British Legation in 1859 and Sir Rutherford Alcock was the first envoy. The legation was attacked on May 28th, 1861by Mito Clan samurai demanding the expulsion of foreigners, and several people were killed or injured (Tozenji Incident). Bullet holes and sword marks still remain in the study and the entrance of the temple. This was taken around the same time as photograph #3421.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Pierre Rossier, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number70‐6‐0]

                    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.
