The Moji Harbour

This is the port of Moji as seen from Mt. Fudetate when facing south. In the centre left is a salt field. Moji was designated a special exporting harbor in 1889 and, consequently, Moji Port Office was established. This photo was probably taken shortly before the salt field development in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Moji, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number58‐1‐0]

This photo captures the torii gate and stone lanterns of Kou-Hachiman Shrine and the salt field behind. This site underwent a land reclamation project later, after the port development project. Although the torii gate no longer exists, the stone lanterns were moved to another location within the precincts. As all the stone lanterns at the shrine were made in 1884 and the reclamation was conducted after 1889, this photo was probably taken between those periods.==Date:unknown, Place:Moji, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number58‐2‐0]
