Osaka's Kuromon Ichiba market popular with foreigners

Daibutsu (the Great Buddha),Ueno

The Great Buddha at Daibutsuyama, Ueno Shinobazugaoka. The lack of temple housing indicates that the photograph was taken after 1873, probably around 1882 in view of the fact that the photographer is Usui Shuzaburo. The path in front of the Buddha to the left leads to Ueno Seiyoken Restaurant, which opened in April 1873 as the second location of Tsukiji Seiyoken of Kyobashi Unemecho. A sign saying Seiyoken Annex is visible to the left of the path. The street in the foreground is Kuromon Dori (Black Gate Street). The grove on the right is Toshogu-no-Mori.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐47‐0]

Cherry trees and jinrikishas,Ueno Park

Kuromon Street in Ueno Park is viewed from the south. Turning right on this street today, one would find the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum. Toshogu Shrine is deep in the woods behind the cherry trees in the centre. It seems to be early morning in the park, when the rickshaw man is the only person viewing the cherry blossoms.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number93‐9‐0]

Cherry trees and women on jinrikishas,Ueno Park

This street used to be called Kuromon Dori (Black Gate Street) because there was a black gate at the entrance of Ueno Park. The street stretches from the bottom of the stairs located in the park square to present-day Tokyo National Museum. Currently, this street is referred to as Sakura Dori (cherry blossom street) because of its many cherry trees. Young women from the flower quarter are enjoying the cherry blossoms from rickshaws.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐4‐0]

Ueno Park

This is the slope leading from Kuromon Street in Ueno Park to the road next to the approach to Benten-do. The work on the park has not been completed, and it retains a very natural look. The size of the trees can be judged by the two people standing under them. Because the area around the pond has not yet been reclaimed, this photograph must have been taken in the first years of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.

The entrance to Ueno Park

The stairs on the right lead to Ueno Park from Ueno Square. The hill above the stairs was called Sakuragaoka. A Confucian Shrine (later moved to Yushima) was built there in 1630 by Hayashi Razan.
