Viewing Oura Foreign Settlement from Japanese Garden next to Chief Officer’s Residence at Dejima

Viewing Oura Foreign Settlement from Japanese Garden next to Chief Officer’s Residence at Dejima

This is one of the oldest scenic photographs of Nagasaki. It was taken by Milton Miller, who came to Nagasaki in 1862, not long after the opening of Japan's doors in 1859. Miller seems to have visited the residence of the chief factor at the Dejima Dutch Factory. Taken from the garden beside the residence, the photograph provides a distant view of the foreign settlement where the 2nd phase of land reclamation work had reached completion and houses were being built. The column on the left is a flag pole to raise the Dutch national flag. The roof of Myogyoji Temple (temporary British Consulate at the time) is visible. The Glover house has not been built yet. This photograph is also contained in the Bauduin Collection donated to Leiden University.==Date:1861-62?, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number113‐8‐0]

    The Yokohama foreign settlement seen from Yamate

    View from the Motomachi Hyakudan. Maeda Bridge is visible in the right foreground across the Horikawa Waterway. The left side of the street across the bridge is the settlement land reclaimed from the harbour. Since the waterway embankment work had not yet been done and the bell tower of Yokohama Catholic Church at No.80 is not visible, this photograph was probably taken around 1868.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐27‐0]

          View from the top of Yato Slope. The Hepburn residence with its Japanese-style roof is visible in the centre foreground. Houses line Yato Slope on the left, and the foliage on the right marks French Hill (so called because the French Army was stationed here). The partially visible roof is probably the cleaning shop of Wakizaka Kinjiro who handled all the laundry of the British regiment.==Date:about 1875, Place:Yokohama, Photo:R.

            The city of Nagasaki and Nagasaki Harbour

            This is a view from Mt. Kazagashira looking over the city centre and harbour. Land reclamation has progressed in the Shinchi area, and new buildings are being erected. But the old stone embankments still remain. Dejima Island and Dejima Bridge are visible along with Shin-Ohashi Bridge (built in 1869) and a white Western-style residence in Tsuki-machi. The date is 1871or 1872. War vessels and ships are anchored in the Nagasaki Harbour, and the Akunoura shipyard and Inasa area are visible on the opposite shore.==Date:1873, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Uchida Kuichi , (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number114‐31‐0]

                The city of Shinagawa facing the sea

                View of Tokyo from the northern edge of the Shinagawa Shuku (post town), where inns and rest stops for horses were located. The hill on the left indicates that this photograph was taken from around present-day Yatsuyama Bridge. The street in the foreground is probably the Tokaido Highway. This was taken by Felix Beato before train tracks were laid along the sea following land reclamation. Although Shinagawa Station was originally planned near Shinagawa Shuku, the local people were against the plan and eventually the station was built further north than originally planned. Photographs taken much later from the same angle indicate that the station was built behind the tree in the centre.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:F.

                  The torii gates of Suwa Shinto Shrine are on the left. The restaurant Tokiwaro, frequented by men-of-letters and politicians, is on the hillside. The observation deck above the restaurant commands a panoramic view of the city and harbour as well as Kii Peninsula and Awaji Island in the distance. The photographs taken from this spot appear in photograph albums, postcards, and guidebooks. The present-day Venus Bridge connects the original observation deck with a new one built above it.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐33‐0]

                      Northern view of Mt. Fuji from the sand dune of Suzukawa in Fuji City. The pine trees crossing horizontally in the centre of the photograph mark the Tokaido Highway. Kawai Bridge lies between the two tall pine trees on the left and the thatched-roof house. Rice paddies stretch between the dune and the highway. The presence of train tracks indicate that this photograph was taken after the opening of the Tokaido Line in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐17‐0]
