Bamboo grooves near Kiyomizudera Temple

Stereograph depicting rickshaws on the Gojo-zaka slope surrounded by bamboo groves. The two women, one with a parasol, are passengers on the rickshaw pulled by the man with an amigasa hat. Bamboo fencing made of bamboo grass tied to bamboo poles prevents the bamboo from encroaching upon the path. Taken prior to 1909, when the slope was expanded to a width of 7.2 meters. Taken by Herbert G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐1‐0]

Female street singers

Although entitled Japanese Singers, this staged scene actually shows torioi (bird chasing) strolling musicians. Originally part of celebratory ritual, torioi eventually turned into a custom called Kadozuke-gei. The torioi were strolling female musicians wearing distinctive amigasa hats and playing the shamisen. They went from door to door playing music and expressing good wishes for a small charge.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐14‐0]

Nakashima River and Amigasa-bashi Bridge

Amigasa Bridge over Nakashima River. This is an arch-style stone bridge connecting Hakata-machi with Motokamiya-machi. It was destroyed by the great flood of Nagasaki in 1982 and replaced with a new bridge with steep stairs. Suwa Shinto Shrine is visible beside the large pine tree on the left. The temple gate at the foot of the bridge is that of Taiheiji Temple (now in Naminohira-machi) constructed in 1766.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐19‐0]

Panoramic view of NAGASAKI

This panoramic photograph of central Nagasaki was taken from Mt. Kazagashira. This is the first of three panels (#5615-5617) showing the area from the elevation of Umegasaki, Nagasaki Prefecture Office and Nagasaki City Hall to the then high school (now Sakura-machi Primary School) and all the way to Suwa Shinto Shrine. The date is after 1893, because the re-routing of Nakashima River has been completed. This third panel depicts (from the left) the area from Sakura-machi to the former high school and Suwa Shinto Shrine. Koeiji Temple is visible on the lower left along with the bridges Ichiran-bashi, Furumachi-bashi, Amigasa-bashi and Oide-bashi.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐3‐0]
