A teahouse at Oji

The caption reads Ogiya. The rakugo story The Fox of Oji was created to promote this establishment. The story goes that a man invites a girl, who is really a fox, to Ogiya for dinner. He gets her get drunk and tries to run away so that she has to pay the bill. A few days later the man goes to the fox with manju (sweet buns) to apologize. She replies, These manju could be made of horse dung, which is the punch line.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Kajima Seibei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐13‐0]

    The building on the right is Ogiya Restaurant. A garden is on the left side of Otonashi River. According to the restaurant brochure, the history of the establishment goes back to 1648 when Yazaemon started a simple tea stand on the street. That was the time of the 3rd Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu. Hayafune Takehiko is currently the 14th generation owner. The modern building is a five-story concrete structure, with Ogiya Restaurant on the second floor. The gates still remain at the first floor entrance. Taken in the middle of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number91‐3‐0]

      The garden of Ogiya Restaurant is on the left. The water is flowing through grooves in the rocks apparently made by long exposure. Felice Beato took a similar photograph of the garden at the beginning of the Meiji Period and added the caption: Stream with a rushing waterfall. Also, a similar photograph was published in an 1872 issue of The Far East entitled, Waterfall at O-jee from the Tea-House Garden. Taken between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of the Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number78‐34‐0]
