Inokashira Benten

The back of the photograph carried the inscription, Taken at Benten, Inokashira, Tokyo in September 1913. This must be Inokashira, the origin of one of Edo's water supplies. Many trees were planted around Inokashira Pond to preserve the water resources. Inokashira Benzaiten (one of the seven deities of luck) is on a small island called Nakanoshima in the western part of the pond. A Taisho-Period postcard shows Benzaiten with a beautiful thatched roof by a pond. The lack of a pond in this photograph and the simple structure of the house suggest that this is not Benzaiten but a teahouse nearby.==Date:1913, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐23‐0]
