Street View on a Public Holiday

Street View on a Public Holiday

A street in Nagasaki bustles with the convivial atmosphere of Kunchi festival. The location is unknown. Japanese national flags augment the festivity. A public water faucet is visible on the side of the street. Since the water supply pipes were installed in 1891, this photograph is of that period. The street is about 5.5 metres wide, and the stone pavement is neatly constructed. The downtown area of Nagasaki still exudes the atmosphere of the Edo Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number107‐8‐0]

    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]

          Fukiage Park,the Imperial Palace

          Fukiage Park,the Imperial Palace

          The residences of feudal lords were formerly located here as protection on the west side of Edo Castle. However, the area was converted to a garden after the great fire of the Meireki Period in 1657. The garden was designed in exact detail, right down to the location of each stone and tree. There were apparently two waterfalls in the garden, one at the southern edge of Oike (Great Pond) in the centre of the garden and the other near Takimi Teahouse. Since there is foliage, this photograph probably depicts the waterfall near the teahouse. Probably taken between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.

            The inner moat of the Imperial Palace

            View of Koji-machi and Hanzo-mon from the west side of Soto Sakurada-mon. The area where the Imperial Palace (former Edo Castle) faces the inner moat (Sakurada Moat) is called Hachimaki Doi. The stone wall was constructed only on the upper portion, and the rest was a gently curving earthen embankment. Old pines still remain inside the stone walls, and this is one of the most beautiful spots in Tokyo. The Watari watchtower of Hanzo-mon, which was removed in 1871, is visible, indicating that this photograph was taken at the beginning of the Meiji Period. The photographer is Felix Beato.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number62‐35‐0]

              A distant view of the city of Kobe

              View of Kobe harbour from Mt. Suwa. Mid-Meiji Period. This is the same as photograph #4871, although the tinting of the buildings is different. The Kodera family residence is visible, surrounded by walls on the right of the main street running north-south. The area beyond the residence and to the left (east) is the present-day hub of the Hyogo Prefecture administration and site of both the Prefecture Office and Prefecture Police Headquarters. The photograph, taken about 20 years after the opening of Kobe port, shows the town expanding from the coast to the mountain side.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number88‐1‐0]

                Yakushi-do Temple,Motomura,Yokohama

                Motomachi, located at the foot of the Yamate area, was established when the residents of Yokohama Village moved here at the time of the opening of the port. Zotokuin Temple was located at the end of the main street (present day Motomachi-Dori). The building in this photograph is the Yakushi-do next to the main hall. The Yakushi-do was later moved to the Horikawa Waterway from its original location and still stands there today.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:A.

                  The theatre district in Isezaki-cho

                  The area between Isezaki-cho and Nigiwai-cho, which prospered from the second decade of the Meiji Period, had many theatres, teahouses and restaurants. This photograph captures the lively atmosphere of the street before the fire of 1899. This is probably Nigiwai-za or Ryogoku-za in Nigiwai-cho (present-day Isezaki-cho 3-chome).==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐51‐0]

                      Cherry trees at Ueno Park

                      Cherry trees at Ueno Park

                      This is a teahouse on the east bank of Shinobazu Pond. Most of the customers were people coming to see the cherry blossoms, and many writers and artists also frequented the teahouses. A rickshaw is parked at the right side of the photograph and next to it stands an electric lamp, giving a sense of the period. The man drawing water from the well may be the owner of the teahouse.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:A. Farsari, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number81‐16‐0]
