A leisure boat on the Sumida River

Roofed boat taken at the bank of Imado River in front of Yumei-ro where Sanya-bori (moat) merges with Sumida River. The water is too shallow to allow the boat to float, which explains why the photograph is so sharp. In the rear is Mukojima, site of Ushijima Shinto Shrine and Chomeiji Temple. Found in the collection of Uchida Kuichi preserved at Nagasaki Municipal Museum, this photograph was verified to have been taken by Uchida in 1872. This is one of the copies later made and sold.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐25‐0]

The Fujimi Watchtower and the moat,the Imperial Palace

Today, the first thing to greet the eyes of people heading to the Imperial Palace from Tokyo Station is the two-story watchtower. The one on the right is named Sakurada Tatsumi Yagura. The gate in the centre is Kikyo-mon. The three-story watchtower on the left is Fujimi Sanju Yagura. The moat is Kikyo-bori. The last vestiges of Edo Castle remain here, and this spot is used frequently on TV history programs. The buildings were destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and rebuilt around 1927.

A leisure boat on the Sumida River

Like photographs #2665 and #4543, this was taken at the bank of Imado River in front of Yumei-ro at the mouth of Sanya-bori. Ushijima Shinto Shrine, also called Ushi-no-Gozen (presently located at Mukojima 1-chome, downstream) and Choumeiji Temple are amid the tall trees at the rear. The person leaning on the handrail in the centre may be Uchida Kuichi. If so, this photograph was probably taken by his apprentice. The photograph was sold after being trimmed and tinted.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐44‐0]
