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]

    A family celebrating their child

    The boys are probably brothers with their older sister. They wear haori coats and hakama trousers. The woman holding the younger brother on her knees is probably the mother and the woman on the right her mother-in-law. A woven bamboo basket containing rice cakes or perhaps chimaki dumplings is nearby. This is probably a photograph to commemorate a Meiji Period Shichi-go-san children's day festival, because the padded clothing indicate early winter.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐2‐0]

        Pupils forming up

        Elementary school children in the higher grades line up for the camera on a school ground. Since girls with head bands are visible on the left, this could be a rehearsal for a field day.

          Pine trees at Karasaki,Lake Biwa

          The Karasaki pine tree in Sakamoto, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. Karasaki is a place lauded in poetry from the Manyo days. After the Muromachi era, it was chosen one of as one of the eight scenic spots in Omi by the Kanpaku (chief advisor to the emperor) Masaie Konoe, imitating the eight scenic spots of Lake Dotei in China. The pine with its branches hanging in an umbrella-like style has been prized from ancient times, and many torii (archways) stand around it. The present pine tree is several generations from the original tree which was destroyed in 1581.Men in clerical vestments and children stand on the stone wall. Boats are anchored in the fore, since the stone steps lead down to a pier on the lake.==Date:unknown, Place:Shiga, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number2‐24‐0]

            Pupils on a school trip

            A group portrait taken in front of Jingubashi (bridge) during school trip. Harajuku Station was originally built in October 1906, a little closer (north) to Yoyogi than its present location. Meiji Jingu was completed in November, 1919. Jingubashi was built in September 1920 across the Yamanote Line from the Omote Sando (front approach) to the shrine. Kabashima Masayoshi, who founded the first bridge design engineering company in Japan, participated in the construction project. The grove on the far right is part of Meiji Jingu. The left edge of this photograph is now Yoyogi Park. Probably taken between 1921 and 1923.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐37‐0]
