Nagoya areas struggle after heaviest rainfall

NAGOYA, Japan - Work gets under way Sept. 13 to repair the broken embankment of the Shin River running through Nagoya's Nishi Ward which had flooded the city's residential areas in the wake of the heaviest rainfall in almost a century. The rainstorm, triggered by typhoon Saomai and aggravated by an autumnal rain front, caused at least 436 landslides, damaged roads at 171 locations, swept away 12 bridges and broke 18 embankments.

Nunobiki Falls

Medaki waterfall at Nunobiki Falls, taken sometime between the early and mid-Meiji Period. Although it is tinted differently, this is the same as photograph #2807, #4481 and #4682. The flow from Odaki to Medaki turns into the Shin Ikuta River and eventually pours into the sea. Many water mills for polishing rice were located downstream from this area.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐45‐0]

The city of Nagasaki and Nagasaki Harbour

Many buildings were built on the Umegasaki landfill area on the left. The Nagasaki Custom House is also visible dockside. Western-style buildings have been built by the Shinchi sea side and an embankment is in the process of being built behind the buildings. Shin-Ohashi Bridge, constructed in 1869 at the mouth of Nakashima River before redirection work, is visible. A new western-style building is constructed on Dejima across from Tsukimachi. However, neither Mii Church built in 1876 nor the bell tower of Seikokai Theology School built in 1878 is visible. Therefore, this photo must have been taken around 1872. This is a bird's-eye view from Mt. Kazagashira of a typical view of Nagasaki around the beginning of the Meiji period.==Date:1873, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

The central district of Nagasaki and Nagasaki Harbour

This photo was taken from the southern tip of Mt. Kazagashira around 1893 after the first Nagasaki port improvement project.

There are big trading company buildings along the Shinchi coast. This photo shows the center of Nagasaki city around mid-Meiji when the city was growing rapidly.==Date:Middle Meiji (1883-1897), Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number75‐9‐0]

The mouth of Nakashima River

Before 1887, the mouth of Nakashima River was the area where the Eighteenth Bank presently stands. This is the view upstream from Shin-Ohashi Bridge, which was built at the mouth of the river in 1869. Chokyu Bridge is seen in the centre, with Tsuki-machi on the left and Nishihamano-machi on the right. The volume of water was obviously much greater then than it is now. Indeed, Nakashima River was used as a water route to transport goods. The date is the early Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number114‐15‐0]
