UMEGASAKI SHOKONSHA SHRINE

UMEGASAKI SHOKONSHA SHRINE

The graves of Shinentai Samurai who perished in the Ou Rebellion and the attack on Hakodate in 1868. These do not exist at present, but a stone monument entitled site of the Former Ukegasaki Shokonsha and Tombs stands in a corner of Daitokuji Park in Nishikoshima-machi, indicating that Sako Shinto Shrine had been moved there. From the February 1, 1981 edition of The Far East.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number21‐30‐0]

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)
