Nunobiki Falls

Nunobiki Falls

Medaki waterfall at Nunobiki Falls. The wooden bridge and teahouse have not yet been built, indicating that this photograph was taken in the first half of the Meiji Period. Although the tinting is different, this is the same as photographs #2807, #4481 and #4870. The rough tinting suggests that the photograph was produced in the latter half of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐24‐0]

    Indian medical orderlies assisting with wounded

    Photograph of Indian medical orderlies assisting with wounded from the Battle of the Admin Box, February 1944. Part of a collection of official photographs from Middle and Far East, World War Two (1939-1945). Collected by Maj Gen (later Lt Gen) Sir Frank Walter Messervy. The Battle of the Admin Box took place on the Southern Front of the Burma theatre in February 1944. The 5th and 7th Indian Divisions suffered over 7900 casualties, but successfully resisted Japanese attacks for the first time in the campaign. In doing so they pioneered methods which would lead to further Allied victories over the following year. Date: 1944
      Pupils playing war at Ueno Park

      Pupils playing war at Ueno Park

      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. This photograph shows how times have changed, most notably the children's' hakama pants and sport caps.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐75‐0]
        Shinkyo Bridge,the Daiyagawa River

        Shinkyo Bridge,the Daiyagawa River

        Shinkyo Bridge spans Daiya River at the entrance to Nikko-Sannai. The bridge is also called Jabashi (Snake Bridge), referring to the legend that the priest Shodoshonin, when founding Nikko, crossed the river by walking over two big snakes released by Shinja-Daio. The bridge in this photograph was washed away by a flood in 1902. Poles holding power lines are visible.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐9‐0]
          A view of the city of Kobe from Mt. Suwa

          A view of the city of Kobe from Mt. Suwa

          Like #4949 and #4950, this is a stereograph made by the American company Underwood & Underwood. View from Mt. Suwa facing southwest. The cylindrical building on the right is science building of Eiwa Girls School (present-day Kobe Jogakuin School before relocation) completed in 1893. The caption saying that the company obtained the publishing rights in 1904 indicates that the photograph was taken between 1893 and 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Kobe, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐15‐0]

            Mt. Fuji topped with snow,seen from Lake Yamanaka

            Mt. Fuji seen from Lake Yamanaka. The upside-down Fuji is vaguely reflected on the surface. Since the amount of snowfall on the mountain differs from that in photograph #5038, the time of the two photographs is different. A man, probably a fisherman, and someone welcoming him (or seeing him off) can be seen.==Date:1904, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐6‐0]
              Taiko-bashi (drum) Bridge at Kameido Shrine

              Taiko-bashi (drum) Bridge at Kameido Shrine

              Stereograph published in 1904. Although the bridge is the same as in photographs #5001and #2215, the stone lantern in the foreground is larger. Gentlemen wearing Western-style suits and hats are visible among the worshippers, a sign of the times. Frequently a notice was posted on the parapets urging the elderly, ladies and children not to cross the bridge because of the danger (from Saishin Tokyo Hanjoki published in 1903).==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐66‐0]

                A woman in her night clothes

                This photograph, which appeared in the album JAPAN THROUGH THE STEREOSCOPE published by Underwood & Underwood, was taken sometime between 1887 and 1907. The caption on the back reads: Girl sleeping between wadded futons with head on a wooden support - Teahouse, Hikone. The sleeping young woman, futon, wooden support for the head to protect the hairstyle, tobacco tray, tea tray, and andon light attracted the interest of Westerners.==Date:1904, Place:Hikone, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐48‐0]
                  The Tamadare Falls

                  The Tamadare Falls

                  Judging from the condition of the trees, this appears to be the Tamadare Waterfall before it was incorporated as Takinomae Park in 1891. The young woman is possibly an employee of a nearby inn. The volume of water is abundant and this photo shows the force of the falls before the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, when half of the fall was destroyed. Currently the falls, which are in the garden of Tenseien Hotel, are open to the public. A stereograph.==Date:1904, Place:Hakone, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐85‐0]

                    A vendor in the crowd

                    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 theatre district in Dotonbori

                      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]
