Japan - Asakusa Luna Park, Tokyo

Japan - Asakusa Luna Park, Tokyo - the park was designed to mimic the original Luna Park that was built in Brooklyn, New York in 1903. Date: circa 1920

Asakusa Tower and theatres

Egawa Taiseikan, famous for its girls doing acrobatics on balance balls. Some of the girls are looking out onto the street. Formerly rice paddies owned by Sensoji Temple, the Asakusa Sixth District was filled in with soil from the digging of Oike in 1883 and became the largest entertainment district in Japan after the mid-Meiji Period. The tower in the background is Ryounkaku, also called Asakusa Junikai (Twelve Stories). An introduction to the tower is written on the white signboard to the right. This stereograph dates from 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐68‐0]

The Kyoto Imperial Palace

Northern view of Oike Pond Garden and Otsune Palace from Keyaki Bridge, looking over Nakashima Island in the Garden. The stone bridge on the right leads to the northern island. Pines and firs grow in front of the palace. Oike Garden was built during the Enpo Period (1673-81). This type of garden, called kaiyushiki, had bridges, lanterns, and small pavilions to enhance enjoyment of the beauty of the garden. Otsune Palace is built in the shoin-zukuri style and was rebuilt in 1855. This was one of the palaces where the emperor would stay when traveling.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐111‐0]

Fukiage Park,the Imperial Palace

The residences of feudal lords were formerly located here as protection on the west side of Edo Castle. However, the area was converted to a garden after the great fire of the Meireki Period in 1657. The garden was designed in exact detail, right down to the location of each stone and tree. There were apparently two waterfalls in the garden, one at the southern edge of Oike (Great Pond) in the centre of the garden and the other near Takimi Teahouse. Since there is foliage, this photograph probably depicts the waterfall near the teahouse. Probably taken between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.

The twelve-level Ryounkaku,Asakusa

While Rokumeikan, built around the same time, is a representative building of the nobility, Ryounkaku was a building for the common people. At a time when tall buildings were all but nonexistent in Tokyo, it was one of the few portrayed by photographers in vertical composition. This photograph provides a rare view of Ryounkaku reflected in Oike Pond. The top half of Ryounkaku was destroyed in the Great Earthquake of 1923 and the rest of the building was later demolished. This is Ryounkaku soon after its completion in October 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐38‐2]

The twelve-level Ryounkaku,Asakusa

The octagonal tower, Ryounkaku, was designed by British engineer William Kinnimond Burton and completed in October 1890. It is commonly called Junikai (the Twelve Stories). The first ten floors are brick while the eleventh and twelfth floors are wood. Many photographs of Ryounkaku were taken from Oike (Hyotan Pond). This could be the oldest of these photographs. The building on the left is probably a restaurant (possibly Tachibanaya) in Nakanoshima.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐16‐0]
