The Katsura River

Hozugawa Valley looking upstream. The topography suggests that this was taken from the valley at the west entrance of Asahi Tunnel on the former Japan National Railroad San'in Line, facing northwest. Mt. Ushimatsu is visible in the centre. Since no railroad tracks are visible, the photograph was probably taken before the opening of Sagano-Sonobe Line of Kyoto Railway in August 1899.

Since the water level is relatively low and the flow gentle, the camera was probably affixed to a tripod placed in the riverbed.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number52‐6‐0]

Hozu River

Hozugawa kudari (going downstream on the river Hozu) is a 16 km downstream course from Nishizume to the Togetsu Bridge. Originally this route was used to transport lumber from Tanba in the form of rafts but was frought with difficulty due to the rapids and exposed rocks. Sumikura Ryoi made transportation by shallow boats possible in 1606 by removing the greater rocks.From the end of the Meiji to the Taisho era, the Hozugawa downstream course was popularized for tourism, and former workers on the lumber rafts became boatmen. In the photo, the boatman is wearing a sedge hat and holding the helm at the rear of the boat.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number1‐38‐0]
