Bamboo groove at Gojozaka Slope

Bamboo groove at Gojozaka Slope

A man pulling a rickshaw and a woman with goods to be sold, carried in baskets suspended from a yoke, stand at Gojo-zaka slope which is surrounded by bamboo brush. Bamboo grass grows thickly on both sides of the road. The broken bamboo on both sides in the foreground was probably cut to prevent the bamboo grass from spreading to the road. The path is narrow and rickshaws can barely pass each other. Taken prior to 1909 when the slope was expanded to a width of 7.2 meters.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐5‐0]
