Western-style buildings at Oura waterfront street

These are the western style buildings with the highest rents, located on the Bund in the foreign settlement. This area was called the Bund after the one in Shanghai. The buildings are from left, Case & Co. at Oura No. 4, and the later American Consulate at No. 5. The big building with colonial style veranda is Oura No. 6 and would later become the British Consulate. The big western-style house with a hip roof and veranda is Alt & Co. at Oura No.7. The steeple of Oura Church can be seen over the roof. The boat suspended at the quay wall was used to go back and forth to ships anchored off shore. The hill in the background is Mt. Nabekanmuri.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

              Along Oura River

              This is the settlement on the right bank of the Oura River around 1897. There’s a long row of large wooden western buildings. Rickshaws awaiting customers are lined up along the street with gas lights by the stone harbour walls. Small cargo vessels called sanpan that carry cargo to and from ships anchored off-shore are moored closely together. The pink western style building on the hill in the back is the Steele Memorial Academy. The building has been relocated to Glover Garden.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number58‐18‐0]
                Downstream area of Oura River

                Downstream area of Oura River

                This photo is taken halfway up the Oura River looking downstream. The street light was particular to the foreign settlement. The bridge downstream is Benten Bridge and the mountain on the other side of Nagasaki Port is Mt. Inasa. A boat called ‘sanpan’, used to fetch goods from the ships offshore, is moored. The area, ‘Sagarimatsu’, was named after the pine tree on the left. The roof of Myogyoji Temple is barely discernable. The Sagarimatsu area was the foreign settlement’s town center with a bar for foreigners, a restaurant, an inexpensive international hotel, and a shop selling goods for foreigners and until around 1900, the place for locals to socialize.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

                      Large and middle-sized Benzai boats and Isaba boats at Oura, Nagasaki. The two at the right are relatively large Benzai boats built in the Kansai style of about 1000 koku , and the one in the center is a middle size of about 500 koku. The one to the left, which is small and has a different form, is probably the Isaba boat that was popular in the Kansai area for travel over short distances.==Date:1877, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number21‐18‐0]
