A soldier and Mt. Fuji

A soldier and Mt. Fuji

Research conducted by the Yokohama Archives of History indicates that this photograph is a view of Mt. Fuji from Fuji-Yoshida in Yamanashi Prefecture. From ancient times, the path to the summit of Mt. Fuji started in Fuji-Yoshida, and this seems to have been taken somewhere along the path. A samurai and two men are on the log bridge over the stream. Taken by Felix Beato.==Date:about 1870, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:F.

        View from the Motomachi Hyakudan. Maeda Bridge is visible in the right foreground across the Horikawa Waterway. The left side of the street across the bridge is the settlement land reclaimed from the harbour. Since the waterway embankment work had not yet been done and the bell tower of Yokohama Catholic Church at No.80 is not visible, this photograph was probably taken around 1868.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐27‐0]

            Stonewalls along the moat

            View of the outer moat of Edo Castle looking south from the eastern edge of Tokiwa Bridge, with Gofuku Bridge in the distance to the south. The Gofuku-bashi Gomon Gate was removed in 1873, and the wooden bridge was replaced with a stone bridge in 1880. This photograph was therefore taken after 1880. The break in the middle of the stone wall on the right is the junction of the Dosan Moat and the outer moat. Zenikame Bridge is to the right.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐52‐0]
