Nagasaki Habour seen from Mt. Hoshitori

Nagasaki Port viewed from Mt. Hoshitori (Mt. Ohira at the time of the photo) overlooking the Oura foreign settlement. The promenade by Dejima built in 1867 and a corral for horses can be seen. Shinchi is to its right and the British Consulate is behind the foreign settlement. At the mouth of Urakami River in the back of the bay lies Urakami-Shinden (present-day Mori-machi). Since Dejima-Shinbashi Bridge built in 1869 is not visible, this photo must have been taken around 1868.==Date:about 1868, Place:Nagasaki, Photo: F.

The city of Nagasaki seen from Fukusaiji Temple

This is a view from the cemetery at Fukusaiji Temple looking over central Nagasaki and the waterfront area from Daikoku-machi to Dejima. The re-routing of Nakashima River had not been completed at this time, so the date is between 1877 and 1887. Also, the construction of the new Urakami Road along the waterfront from Dejima to Goto-machi has not been completed yet. A cannon platform is visible near the edge of the pine tree. The open land in the centre is the site of the former Omura Clan residence.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐4‐0]

Urakami Shinden (new fields) is on the right, and the Takenokubo area on the left.
