Going down the Hozu River

Going down the Hozu River

A raft shooting rapids is seen from the northern shore of the Hozu River. Boatmen are sitting on the rocks observing the scene. People took the approximately 16km boat ride from Hozu Town in Kameoka to Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama. The river boats that carried lumber and goods from Tanba Kameoka to Kyoto were converted to leisure boats at the end of the Meiji Period when the Kyoto Railway was established. This may have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐26‐0]

                  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]
