Climing Mt. Fuji

Climing Mt. Fuji

Pilgrims at the top of Mt. Fuji. There are two craters at the summit (one large, one small), and the caldera surrounds them. Pilgrims came to pray at the shrines located along the path at the summit and to see morning light, which was considered sacred. This photograph was taken by the American stereograph company, Underwood & Underwood, either in 1896 or between 1903 and 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Shizuoka Yamanashi, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐81‐0]

            Mt. Fuji topped with snow,seen from Lake Yamanaka

            Mt. Fuji topped with snow,seen from Lake Yamanaka

            Mt. Fuji seen from Lake Yamanaka. The upside-down Fuji is vaguely reflected on the surface. Since the amount of snowfall on the mountain differs from that in photograph #5038, the time of the two photographs is different. A man, probably a fisherman, and someone welcoming him (or seeing him off) can be seen.==Date:1904, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐6‐0]

                  A cargo carrier

                  Three thousand ryo a day falls where it must. This senryu poem means that everyday people spend three thousand ryo (monetary unit in the Edo Period), one thousand in the fish market in the morning, one thousand in the theatres during the daytime, and one thousand in the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter in the evening. There was a fish market on the east side of the northern edge of Nihonbashi Bridge during the Edo Period. The man in this photograph is selling fish he just bought at the fish market. Probably taken near Nihonbashi. Since there was no refrigeration then, fish had to be sold within a day and people ate fresher fish than today. This stereograph is dated 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐77‐0]

                      A pilgrimage near Lake Kawaguchi

                      The caption says Pilgrims beating little gongs -- house covered with drying corn, near Lake Kawaguchi, Japan. The man and woman wearing bamboo hats and holding beads and bells appear to be pilgrims, but their religious affiliation is unclear. This photograph, which shows harvested corn drying on the houses in the background, provides valuable insights into lifestyles of the Meiji Period.==Date:1904, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐84‐0]
