The Tamadare Falls,Hakone

A woman and two palanquin men are watching Tamadare Falls at Hakone Yumoto. Judging from the appearance of the place, this photo was taken after 1891 when this place became Takinomae-Yuen Park by the entrepreneur Takashi Koyasu. Since it is written Ichinoyu on the hanten jacket worn by the palanquin man, it is assumed that a woman staying at the shinise (long-standing) inn Ichinoyu at Tonosawa Spa is visiting here.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐34‐0]
