Viewing Tateyama direction from the Old Site of Daitokuji Temple

This photo captures Nagasaki city looking toward Tateyama viewed from the precinct of former Daitokuji Temple. The hill in the background is former Uchi-machi which used to be enclosed by stone walls. The areas with rooftops are present-day Shianbashi, Hamanomachi, and the right bank of the Nakashima River. The roof tiles fixed with mortar stand out. They were thus fixed so they would not be blown away by typhoons. Another outstanding feature of this photo are the warehouses with thick white mortar walls.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)
