The main gate of Nakashima Confucian Shrine and the residence of Ueno Hikoma

The white walled house in the center is where Ueno Hikoma lived and had his photo studio. The new two-storied photo studio Ueno Hikoma built in 1872 can be seen. The big gate on the left is the main gate of Nagasaki Seido, along with Yushima in Tokyo and Taku in Saga, one of the three foremost academic centers of Confucianism in Japan at that time. The foliage across the river is Mizu-jinja Shrine of Irabayashi close to the water source for the Kurata-Suihi waterworks during the Edo period.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)
