    Women pilgriming in the Imperial Park

    Female pilgrims climb the stone steps to Kondo Hall at Nin'naji Temple. The photograph was taken facing east from the eastern approach to Kan'nondo Hall. The women wear zori slippers, hold long walking sticks, and carry something on their backs. The irimoya-style building in the rear may be a place for drinking water. This may have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐39‐0]

        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]

          A cargo boat on the Nihonbashi River

          View of Nihonbashi River looking west, taken from Nihonbashi Bridge. The river is busy with cargo boats. Mt. Fuji was visible from this spot on clear days. The left side of the river is Nishi-gashi (west riverside), and the bridge visible in the far right is Nishi (West) Bridge. This was a transitional period when land transportation was replacing water transportation, but at this time the canal still played a major role in transporting goods. This stereograph was published in 1904 in a book-shaped case.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐78‐0]

              Interior of the main hall of Kiyomizu Temple, facing east, with huge symmetrically arranged columns and various sized ema (votive picture tablets) donated by temple followers hanging from the ceiling.

                  This is Kagami-ike (Mirror Pond) located at the southeast of Chumon Gate of Todaiji Temple. Since Mt. Wakakusa is visible afar, this is the view from the Nanboku (lit. South-North) approach to the temple when facing southeast. The stairs at west of Nakashima Island and a torii gate are present. People originally entered from the west, however, at present the entrance is from the back east side.==Date:unknown, Place:Nara, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐3‐0]

                      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.
