A teahouse at Oji

The garden of Ogiya Restaurant is on the left. The water is flowing through grooves in the rocks apparently made by long exposure. Felice Beato took a similar photograph of the garden at the beginning of the Meiji Period and added the caption: Stream with a rushing waterfall. Also, a similar photograph was published in an 1872 issue of The Far East entitled, Waterfall at O-jee from the Tea-House Garden. Taken between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of the Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number78‐34‐0]

A row of pine trees and teahouses along the Tokaido Road

This is a Felice Beato photograph taken somewhere between Hodogaya and Fujisawa, possibly near the post town of Totsuka famous for its pine trees. The shop signs read Issen-meshi (One Sen Food) and Ochazuke (Rice with Green Tea). This was probably made from one of the original plates that Raimund von Stillfried received from Beato and then later sold.==Date:unknown, Place:Fujisawa, Photo:F.

The hondo (inner sanctuary),Daikoji Temple,Nagasaki

This is a photograph by Felice Beato of Daikoji Temple. The man standing in front of the lantern on the left is Hikoma Ueno. Seven years later, Kuichi Ikeda would take a photo from exactly the same angle. Interestingly, he, also, had a man standing in the center (refer to Catalog No. 688, 3220, 3222, 3251). He appears to have done so in reference to this photo by Beato.==Date:about 1865, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number66‐27‐0]
