A merchant family in Yokohama

Asakusa Kannon Shrine seen from the twelve-level Ryounkaku,Asakusa

Sensoji Temple seen from Ryounkaku. There are many photographs of Ryounkaku, but few photographs were taken from that building. Kannon-do is in the centre, with the five-story pagoda and Niomon (gate) to the right. The area in front and to the left of Kannon-do was commonly called Okuyama. Street performers made presentations there. The building in the left foreground is Hana Yashiki (Flower House). The five-story Okuyamakaku (Ho'okaku) is visible. This was probably taken soon after the construction of Ryounkaku in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐38‐3]

Panoramic view of NAGASAKI

This photo captures the city of Nagasaki and Seitokukan from the hill of Higashiyamate around 1865. The two white buildings on the right hill are Yojosho (hospital) built in 1861 and the one on the left is Igakusho (medical school) attached to it. The big building on its left is Bunseki-Kyurisho where physics and chemistry were taught. They are merged and renamed as Seitokukan in 1865. This is the place where the modern medical education and hospital in Japan began and the root of Nagasaki University School of Medicine. The roof of Shokakuji temple is seen next to it. The houses on the lower right are Tojin-yashiki (Chinese residences). When looking closely, the hall and decorations can be seen.==Date:1865, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number124‐351‐0]
