Ferries,the Sumida River

Probably the ferry dock called Takeya-no-Watashi at Mukojima. Another photograph taken downstream shows these people at the same time. Stone steps descend to the river from where the man is standing in the centre, and the ferry dock called Terashima-no-Watashi is visible upstream. However, the boat depicted here is not a ferry but a yanebune (roofed boat) used for entertainment. This is one of the photographs in the album sold at Kinpei Photograph Studio, indicating that it was taken by Kusakabe Kinbei in the early Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐31‐0]

Yaomatsu Restaurant, Mukojima

Yaomatsu Restaurant on the right was opened in a refurbished boat shed formerly owned by the Tokugawa family of Mito. The water in front is probably Gennomori River, seen from Makura Bridge. There was a ferry stop at the end of the bridge called Yamanoshuku-no-Watashi (Makurabashi-no-Watashi) for passage to Asakusa on the other side of the river. The five-story pagoda Kan'non-do Hall and the Nio Gate of Sensoji Temple are visible. The Ryounkaku built in 1890 is visible to the left of the pagoda, indicating that the photograph was taken after that year.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number47‐7‐0]

Takeya Ferry Port,Mukojima

One of the crossings to Mukojima, Takeyano watashi. It was called Mukojima because it looked like an island when viewed from the opposite side of the Sumida River from the Asakusa side. The pier in the photo is on the side of Mukojima. The tower of Sensoji can be faintly seen on the opposite bank.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number37‐68‐0]
