A leisure boat on the Sumida River

This same photograph was carried in a special issue of Asahi Graph published by Tokyo Asahi Newspaper in 1925 to commemorate the centennial of photography in Japan, under the heading Boat Outing on Tokyo Sumida River with Uchida Kuichi around 1874. The caption says that the man leaning on the railing in the centre is Uchida Kuichi and that the photograph belongs to Hirata Kenichi. The fashion-conscious Uchida usually wore Western-style clothes in photographs, so this is a rare shot of him wearing a kimono.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐20‐0]

Nagasaki Harbour seen from Akunoura

This is one of a set of four photographs of Nagasaki taken by Uchida Kuichi, who accompanied Emperor Meiji on his journey around the country in 1872. The Emperor's flagship is visible in the harbour. Although believed to be the work of Ueno Hikoma, this same photograph was found among Uchida's photographs of the 1872 trip in the Kasumi-kai collection and thus was confirmed to be Uchida's work.==Date:1872, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number91‐24‐0]

A leisure boat on the Sumida River

Roofed boat taken at the bank of Imado River in front of Yumei-ro where Sanya-bori (moat) merges with Sumida River. The water is too shallow to allow the boat to float, which explains why the photograph is so sharp. In the rear is Mukojima, site of Ushijima Shinto Shrine and Chomeiji Temple. Found in the collection of Uchida Kuichi preserved at Nagasaki Municipal Museum, this photograph was verified to have been taken by Uchida in 1872. This is one of the copies later made and sold.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐25‐0]

Osaka Castle

Rokuban Yagura and Sanban Yagura (No.6 and No.3 watchtowers) on the southern outer moat of Osaka Castle. The castle was studded with watchtowers, such as Inui Yagura, Fushimi Yagura and the No.1 through No.7 corner watchtowers. However, only No. 6 and No. 1 exist today.

The ferries,Mukojima

This same photograph was carried in Nihon no Meisho (Beautiful Places of Japan) published by Shiden Hensansho in 1900 under the title, Entertainment on a Boat at Sumida River, and also under the title Boat Play in Tokyo F?kei (Tokyo Scenery) published by Ogawa Kazumasa in 1911. This photograph resembles two photographs taken by Uchida Kuichi, but it is probably an Ogawa Kazumasa photograph taken around 1897. Says Ogawa in the caption to his photograph, Since ancient times, the boat outing on Sumida River has been the most sophisticated of all pleasures.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐7‐0]

The hour bell and the five-story pagoda,Sensoji Temple

The five-story pagoda seen from the hour bell at Bentenyama. Since people did not use clocks in the Edo Period, they confirmed the time of day by listening to the temple bell. The bell was struck three times before the hour was announced. Thus, nine rings meant six o'clock in the morning. Taken by Uchida Kuichi in 1872 or 1873. It was later tinted and sold as a Yokohama photograph.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐6‐0]

This photo captures the Shimogawara area of Nishimachi in Nikko taken from the hill where the Kanaya Hotel stands. There is an electric pole on the west side of the street by Otani River. it was in 1893 when the Nikko hydroelectric power plant was built upstream at Mukogawara. Mt.

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)

Daikoji Temple and a man, taken by Uchida Kuichi. There is a photograph in which Ueno Hikoma poses just like the man in this photograph, taken by F.

This is a photograph by Felice Beato of Daikoji Temple. The man standing in front of the lantern on the left is Hikoma Ueno. Seven years later, Kuichi Ikeda would take a photo from exactly the same angle. Interestingly, he, also, had a man standing in the center (refer to Catalog No. 688, 3220, 3222, 3251).

This same photograph can be found in the memorial photograph album of Charles Appleton Longfellow, first son of the famous American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who lived in Japan from 1871 to 1873. Charles may have asked Uchida Kuichi to take this shot, and it could be Charles wearing a kimono and looking out from between the shoji screens. The woman second from the left is Okiku, owner of the restaurant Yumei-ro at Sanyabori, and the other women are Charles' favourite geisha. The roofed boat probably belongs to Yumei-ro.==Date:about 1872, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐50‐0]

Winter scenery at Sanyabori

Sanya Moat looking upstream from Imadobashi, the bridge furthermost downstream on the moat. Until the mid-Meiji Period, this area was a pleasure quarter with restaurants and geisha houses. The Choki-bune (boats) that ferried customers to the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter used to pass here, and thus going to Sanya became a synonym for going to Yoshiwara. Nine bridges spanned Sanya Moat, but they were all later removed as part of land reclamation projects. The site is now Sanyabori Park.
