Ferry boat

Ferry boat

The embankment at Biwajima Benten was a landing spot for ferries crossing Hiragata Bay to Nojima. Most of the passengers are probably pilgrims from the Boso Peninsula traveling to Oyama. Today, Biwajima Benten is the last station on the Kanazawa Seaside Railroad Line. The byakushin trees (Juniperus chinensis) with white trunks in the photograph are still thriving today near Kanazawa Hakkei Station.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐44‐0]

    Mt. Fuji topped with snow,seen from Lake Yamanaka

    Mt. Fuji seen from Lake Yamanaka, the biggest of the five lakes at the foot of the mountain. The photograph captures the reflection of Mt. Fuji in the lake and a fisherman in a boat. The location is assumed to be Nagaike at Yamanaka-ko Village in Kitatsuru-gun, Yamanashi Prefecture. It is still a spot from which to enjoy the upside-down Fuji today.==Date:1904, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐2‐0]

          A cargo boat on the Nihonbashi River

          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. The left side of the river is Nishi-gashi (west riverside), and the bridge visible in the far right is Nishi (West) Bridge. 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. This stereograph was published in 1904 in a book-shaped case.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐78‐0]

                Beach at tomioka hachimangu shrine

                The caption reads Tomioka in English, but the photo is believed to be the seashore in Tomioka which served as a resort for hotels and high-ranking government officials in the-mid 1870s. It was also famous as a bathing resort from early days. Fishermen in loincloths are preparing to take the Japanese boat to sea.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number4‐23‐0]

                  A leisure boat on the Sumida River

                  Scene of entertainment in a boat on Sumida River. People used these boats to enjoy the cherry blossoms, visit famous historical places along the river, and to drink sake at restaurants. The flow of the river, controlled by embankments on both sides, was gentle enough to let people relax on the roof of the boats. This is probably impossible today, because the riverbanks have been reinforced with concrete and the flow is no longer gentle.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number91‐15‐0]
                    Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

                    Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

                    Northeastern view of Mt. Fuji from the bank of Fuji River at Iwabuchi in Fujigawa-machi. The ferry port of Iwabuchi is in the foreground, and Matsuoka Sui Shinto Shrine of Fuji City is visible in the forest on the other side. The bridge between the shrine and Iwabuchi is not visible in this photograph, perhaps because it had been recently washed away, which often happened due to the rapid flow of Fuji River. The mountain on the left is Mt. Iwamoto, and pine trees line the other side of the river.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐16‐0]

                      Rokken-jaya at the lakeside is viewed from the precincts of the Chugushi at Futarasan Shinto Shrine. The fact that not a single building is visible on the lakeside in the Utagahama area to the right indicates that the photograph was taken in the early Meiji Period. Also, no stone embankment work has been done at the lakeside near Rokken-jaya.==Date:unknown, Place:Nikko, Photo:R.
