Pier at The Russian Settlement at Inasa

Pier at The Russian Settlement at Inasa

Shiga was the village headman of Fuchi in Urakami Village, and the area leading onto present-day Asahi-Ohashi Bridge in Asahi-machi was called ‘Shiga-no-hato.’ The building on the tip of the land on the left is Restaurant Volga run by Morooka Matsu. The two-storied building in front of it is the villa of the Fukudas and housed the Russian officers’ club where Michinaga Ei, known as Inasa Oei, would work later. The building with the big roof in the foreground belonged to Fukuda, the sanshi (assistant officer). The house on the right belonged to Shiga.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

Ebisu Shrine, Akunoura

Ebisu Shrine, Akunoura

Although the English title says Naminohira, this is the Ebisu Shrine in Akunoura. Koyanagi Gorozaemon Michinaga moved from Ebisu-machi (area of present-day Nagasaki Station) to Senowaki Village in Inasa in 1633. This served as an office for Nagasaki Magistrate Matsudaira Zushonokami during the Phaeton Incident. After the Meiji Restoration, this shrine was renamed as Inasa Jinja, but the original name was resurrected in 1937. Fishermen's houses dominated the area, which commanded a scenic view of the opposite shore.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐34‐0]
