      A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

      The Nikko Highway is lined with cedar trees. Nikko was known for heavy rainfall, and its streets tended to get muddy, creating problems for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The photograph captures rickshaws, vendors, travelers, people with umbrellas, and an electric pole behind them.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐57‐0]

          A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

          The cedars along Nikko Highway were donated by Matsudaira Masatsuna on the 33rd anniversary of the death of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. The building visible in the background probably stands near Oiwake Jizo. This area was beautiful at the time. The sky is visible between the trees. It is said that people could walk here by the light of the moon and stars.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐7‐0]

            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]

              The theatre district in Dotonbori

              The flags on the right are advertising motion pictures, indicating that this photograph was taken after 1897. Since telephone poles are visible only in photographs depicting the Sumi-za area around the year 1907, this photograph was undoubtedly taken close to that date.==Date:1904, Place:Osaka, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐44‐0]

                This is probably a photo by Beato taken because of his interest in the pine boulevard along the Tokaido. The men on the road are probably not travelers but gardeners taking care of the pines.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:F.

                  An old couple spinning cotton

                  Country people are spinning yarn in a village, a common scene during the Meiji Period. A large amount of cotton is visible in the bamboo basket in front. This task was performed by elderly couples. The woman is spinning the yarn from cotton, turning the wheel with her right hand.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Kajima Seibei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number84‐22‐0]

                    Farmhouse at miyagino

                    Farm houses existed in Miyagino in the Meiji era in Ko, Kami, Sotokubo and Azuma, but since flat land was scarce in Ko and Kami, this photo is thought to be Sotokubo or Azuma (perhaps near the present Jonai Senior High School branch school) from the background. The laundry, agricultural products, farming tools and dress suggest that this farm was run by a small-scale land-owning farmer.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐24‐0]

                      View from Honcho Dori 1-chome to 2-chome. Honmachi Dori served as Yokohama's main street from the opening of the port, and many large trading companies had offices here. The fireproof warehouse-style building on the right is Hiranuma Shoten, a charcoal shop standing on the corner of 2-chome. The Western-style building next door is Tanaka Shinshichi Shoten.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐130‐0]
