A leisure boat on the Sumida River

A leisure boat on the Sumida River

This same photograph was carried in a special issue of Asahi Graph published by Tokyo Asahi Newspaper in 1925 to commemorate the centennial of photography in Japan, under the heading Boat Outing on Tokyo Sumida River with Uchida Kuichi around 1874. The caption says that the man leaning on the railing in the centre is Uchida Kuichi and that the photograph belongs to Hirata Kenichi. The fashion-conscious Uchida usually wore Western-style clothes in photographs, so this is a rare shot of him wearing a kimono.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐20‐0]

                      The Tamadare Falls,Yumoto Spa

                      This photo was taken with almost the same angle as catalogue #2956, and thus, it was probably taken at the same time. One man is in the fall whereas four women are wearing yukata summer kimono looking at the cascade and cooling themselves. Since the way they are is unnatural, they may have been posed for the photograph. This was taken after 1891 when this waterfall area was made to be Takinomae Park.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐45‐0]
