The ferries,Mukojima

This same photograph was carried in Nihon no Meisho (Beautiful Places of Japan) published by Shiden Hensansho in 1900 under the title, Entertainment on a Boat at Sumida River, and also under the title Boat Play in Tokyo F?kei (Tokyo Scenery) published by Ogawa Kazumasa in 1911. This photograph resembles two photographs taken by Uchida Kuichi, but it is probably an Ogawa Kazumasa photograph taken around 1897. Says Ogawa in the caption to his photograph, Since ancient times, the boat outing on Sumida River has been the most sophisticated of all pleasures.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐7‐0]

              A man is fishing at Hozu Gorge, wearing a hand towel on his head and holding a long fishing rod over the rapids.

                This photograph is from the same series as photographs #4949 and #4951. Judging from the caption, it was probably taken before 1896. It is interesting to see the dress and expressions of the people as well as the street performer with a monkey. This photograph was sold, along with other similar photographs and a stereoscope for viewing, in a paper box set entitled JAPAN THROUGH THE STEREOSCOPE.==Date:1904, Place:Kobe, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐14‐0]

                  The flags on the right are advertising motion pictures, indicating that this photograph was taken after 1897. Since telephone poles are visible only in photographs depicting the Sumi-za area around the year 1907, this photograph was undoubtedly taken close to that date.==Date:1904, Place:Osaka, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐44‐0]

                    View of Nihonbashi River looking west, taken from Nihonbashi Bridge. The river is busy with cargo boats. Mt. Fuji was visible from this spot on clear days.

This was a transitional period when land transportation was replacing water transportation, but at this time the canal still played a major role in transporting goods.
