Main Hall and Worship Hall at Suwa Shrine

Main Hall and Worship Hall at Suwa Shrine

The buildings starting from the right are, Worship Hall, Norito-den Hall, and the Main Hall at Suwa Shrine. Worship Hall is where commoners would worship. The building is made of hinoki (Japanese cypress) in irimoya-zukuri style (a hip-and- gable roof construction) with a hiwadabuki-style roof (Japanese cypress hinoki bark thatching). The right, left , and front walls flip open upwards like awnings. The tablet was written by Sawa Nobuyoshi who became the Kyushu Pacification Officer in 1868. The floor of the Norito-den Hall connected to the passageway is tatami-covered. The building in the far left is the main hall rebuilt in 1869 after burning down in 1857. The chancel enshrines the spirit of the three deities of the Suwa, Morisaki, and Sumiyoshi shrines.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

      The main gate of Shihan school

      This is the front gate of National Nagasaki Normal School that had just been established in 1874. The former Nagasaki Bugyosho building on the left going through the gate and the newly built building on the right (the former governor’s residence) were the school buildings. In 1872 Tokyo Public Teachers College was established and thereafter teachers colleges were established across Japan. Later all those colleges except for Tokyo Public Teachers College and Tokyo Women’s Teachers College would be placed under prefectural control.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

                Viewing Tateyama direction from the Old Site of Daitokuji Temple

                This photo captures Nagasaki city looking toward Tateyama viewed from the precinct of former Daitokuji Temple. The hill in the background is former Uchi-machi which used to be enclosed by stone walls. The areas with rooftops are present-day Shianbashi, Hamanomachi, and the right bank of the Nakashima River. The roof tiles fixed with mortar stand out. They were thus fixed so they would not be blown away by typhoons. Another outstanding feature of this photo are the warehouses with thick white mortar walls.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

                    Viewing the Old Site of Nishi-Yakusho from the Old Site of Daitokuji Temple

                    Viewing the Old Site of Nishi-Yakusho from the Old Site of Daitokuji Temple

                    This photo captures the old site of the Nishi-Yakusho of the former Nagasaki Bugyosho office (present-day Prefectural Office) over the Zenza river taken from the old site of Daitokuji Temple. What used to be the Nishi-Yakusho is now a vacant lot. The first Prefectural Office made of wood was built in July 1874. However, the building was destroyed soon by a typhoon on August 20 of the same year. Therefore, it is presumed that this photo was probably taken around 1873 before the construction of the first Prefectural Office building. The big white building on the left is the site of the present-day main office of Eighteen Bank. The area with foliage in the center is where the old Satsuma Domain residence used to be, but the main building is gone. We can see Shinchi Bridge over the Doza river at Ishibashi, where the front gate of Shinchi-Kurasho (warehouse) was. ==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

Forest at No. 10, the worship hall of the Anglican church at No. 11 to its left, and the white western style building is Higashiyamate No. 12 (former American Consulate) to the left of the latter.
