Nakashima River and the residence of Ueno Hikoma

This is Zeniya River, upstream from Nakashima River. The residence of photographer Ueno Hikoma is the house with the white wall by the side of the large tree. To the left of the stone lantern (washed away by the great flood of 1982) is Nakashima Confucian Shrine. A sluice probably to control water flow is seen on the riverbed in front of the Ueno residence. The person on the left is standing on the road paved with stones for rickshaws. The protruding area of the mountain in the background is Buzenbo peak and the range continuing to Mt. Hiko.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐26‐0]

    Hotarujaya and Ichinose-bashi Bridge

    Hotarujaya is viewed from the upstream side. Ichinose Bridge is on the right of the teahouse, and the handrail is visible through the trees. The road on the left is Nagasaki Road leading to Himi Pass. A new road stretching from this point to Yagami on the other side of the mountain was constructed in 1882 by the Himi Shindo Co. led by Matsuda Gengoro and eight others. This was Japan's first toll road, charging one sen a person.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐31‐0]
      Houses by the riverside

      Houses by the riverside

      This is a farming village by a river. The water level is low, the flow is gentle, and the sandbank is visible. The stone embankment is built to prevent erosion. Houses with straw roofs and ceramic tiled roofs are built on relatively higher ground as a precaution for flooding and are connected by a small road. The rice crop hung out to dry indicates autumn. This may be an area near the source of the Hozu River in Kameoka. A bamboo grove is visible in the background.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number46‐96‐0]
        Futamata and Momotani-bashi Bridge

        Futamata and Momotani-bashi Bridge

        This is where the Zeniya river (present-day main stream of Nakashima River) from Himi Pass and the Narutaki area and the Domon river from the Nishiyama area merge. Momotani Bridge is an arched stone bridge 12.4m in length and 3.4m width built in 1679 by Nagashima Nizaemon, also known as Monk Bokui, over the Domon river in Dekidaiku-machi. Since there were many peach trees along the river, the town was called Momonoki-Daiku-machi and the area Momotani (peach valley). The area around the big pine tree on the left is Fudomyoh-do. The bridge is located a little upstream of where the two rivers merged and therefore survived the Nagasaki Flood.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

          Hotta Garden,Mukojima

          This is Shichisho Garden at the Hotta family villa. The bridge in front of the wisteria tree shown in #4442 was made from these three large flat stones. The elevated area on the left and the lantern in the centre are typical features of the garden of a feudal lord. The water level is lower than that in #2993.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐6‐0]
