Kameido Shrine

Originally called Kameido Tenmangu, the shrine was renamed Kameido Jinja in 1873 Kameido Tenjinsha in 1936. The original shrine was built soon after the Great Fire of Meireki (1657) when the Shogunate planned to develop the Honjo area and the government provided the land for the shrine. This is the Romon Gate. This gate and the main shrine building were destroyed by air raids in 1945.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number91‐5‐0]

Fukiage Park,the Imperial Palace

The residences of feudal lords were formerly located here as protection on the west side of Edo Castle. However, the area was converted to a garden after the great fire of the Meireki Period in 1657. The garden was designed in exact detail, right down to the location of each stone and tree. There were apparently two waterfalls in the garden, one at the southern edge of Oike (Great Pond) in the centre of the garden and the other near Takimi Teahouse. Since there is foliage, this photograph probably depicts the waterfall near the teahouse. Probably taken between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.

The Imperial Palace

To the left is seen the three-tier turret of Fujimi Yagura, the only one remaining in the castle tower. After the castle tower burned down in the fire of 1657, this turret was used as the castle tower.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number13‐25‐0]
