Sakurababa Weir of Nakashima River

Sakurababa Weir of Nakashima River

This is a scene of the Sakurababa and Irabayashi neighbourhoods near the fork of Nakashima River and Narutaki River (present-day Nakanohashi bridge). This scenery was given the poetic name Sakuraba Seiran (cherry blossom storm) and was known as one of the eight best scenes of Nagasaki. The area beyond the building on the right, known as Nakagawa Carlsbad, was famous for its cherry blossoms and baths prepared with the same mineral ingredients as those in Carlsbad (present-day Czech Republic).==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐18‐0]

The white walled house in the center is where Ueno Hikoma lived and had his photo studio. The new two-storied photo studio Ueno Hikoma built in 1872 can be seen. The big gate on the left is the main gate of Nagasaki Seido, along with Yushima in Tokyo and Taku in Saga, one of the three foremost academic centers of Confucianism in Japan at that time. The foliage across the river is Mizu-jinja Shrine of Irabayashi close to the water source for the Kurata-Suihi waterworks during the Edo period.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)
