The city of Nagasaki and Nagasaki Harbour

Many buildings were built on the Umegasaki landfill area on the left. The Nagasaki Custom House is also visible dockside. Western-style buildings have been built by the Shinchi sea side and an embankment is in the process of being built behind the buildings. Shin-Ohashi Bridge, constructed in 1869 at the mouth of Nakashima River before redirection work, is visible. A new western-style building is constructed on Dejima across from Tsukimachi. However, neither Mii Church built in 1876 nor the bell tower of Seikokai Theology School built in 1878 is visible. Therefore, this photo must have been taken around 1872. This is a bird's-eye view from Mt. Kazagashira of a typical view of Nagasaki around the beginning of the Meiji period.==Date:1873, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

The central district of Nagasaki and Nagasaki Harbour

This photo was taken from the southern tip of Mt. Kazagashira around 1893 after the first Nagasaki port improvement project. Nakashima River had been redirected behind Dejima and Shin-Kawaguchi Bridge was constructed at the mouth of the river in 1890. Dozan river was redirected to flow north of Shinchi. There are big trading company buildings along the Shinchi coast. This photo shows the center of Nagasaki city around mid-Meiji when the city was growing rapidly.==Date:Middle Meiji (1883-1897), Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number75‐9‐0]

Kazagashira mountain

Mt. Kazagashira is located in the eastern part of Nagasaki City, and at the foot stand many famous temples of Nagasaki. The cemeteries of each temple climb the mountain to the peak. Before the Meiji era, some people picniced for a whole day on this hillside. At present it is the Kazagashira Park. This is almost the same as the photo numbered 14-47.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number26‐14‐0]

Kite Flying at Mt. Kazagashira

This was probably taken by a professional photographer to depict the sport of kite flying. The date is around 1895. The name of Mt. Kazagashira ( Wind Peak ) is derived from the wind that blows up the mountain from the city. Kite flying is enjoyed in March and April. The central part of Nagasaki city is visible beyond the mountain. The mountain in the distance is Mt. Inasa. The area of modern-day Nagasaki Station (yet to be reclaimed from the harbour) and part of Chikugo-machi are visible.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐6‐0]
