Nagoya Castle

The east side of the dungeon of Nagoya Castle seen from around Higashi Ichi-no-mon (gate). The wall on the left side of the castle tower stretches to a small tower. The building slightly visible on the left is the kitchen of the Honmaru (main donjon) palace. Since the tamon wall to the right was destroyed by the Nobi Earthquake in 1891, this photograph was taken after the golden shachi (mythical carp) were returned to the castle tower top in 1878 but before the earthquake.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagoya, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐33‐0]

Odawara Castle

This is the Minami-Kuruwa area of Odawara Castle, site of present-day Odawara City Museum. This photograph was taken from the front gate of Sannomaru Primary School (the old Honcho Primary School). Since the main castle's donjon is not visible, it must have been taken after November 1871 when the tower was disassembled and sold. The bridge in the foreground is Ochatsubo-bashi (the official name is Komine-bashi). It received this name (which means tea jar bridge ) because the tea brought to the shogun during the Edo period had to come across this bridge.==Date:unknown, Place:Odawara, Photo:R.
