Cherry trees by the Edo River

The Kanda Josui (waterway) stretching from around Sekiguchidai in Koishikawa and Iida Bridge was called Edo River (different from the tributary of Tonegawa). It is said that cherry trees were planted here in 1884, but despite its shallow history, the area became a famous cherry blossom viewing site called the new Koganei by the end of Meiji Period. Several boat houses provided lodgings and rented out small boats of this kind. It was a refined pleasure to view the cherry blossoms from the boat. This is a magic lantern slide made around 1897.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐35‐0]
