Cherry trees at Mukojima

The area across Sumida River from Asakusa is Mukojima. There is no official boundary, but area from Mokuboji Temple to Makura Bridge is referred to as Mukojima. The banks of Sumida River at Mukojima are called Sumida-tei or Boku-tei. Cherry trees were planted here during the Kyoho Period (1716-36) by the 8th Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, and saplings were planted from time to time thereafter. This area thus became the most popular place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Edo.

Downstream area of Oura River

This photo is taken halfway up the Oura River looking downstream. The street light was particular to the foreign settlement. The bridge downstream is Benten Bridge and the mountain on the other side of Nagasaki Port is Mt. Inasa. A boat called ‘sanpan’, used to fetch goods from the ships offshore, is moored. The area, ‘Sagarimatsu’, was named after the pine tree on the left. The roof of Myogyoji Temple is barely discernable. The Sagarimatsu area was the foreign settlement’s town center with a bar for foreigners, a restaurant, an inexpensive international hotel, and a shop selling goods for foreigners and until around 1900, the place for locals to socialize.==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

The Oura foreign settlement and Nagasaki Harbour seen from Don-no-Yama

This photo captures the area around the Oura River as viewed from mid-hill Mt. Donnoyama. At the mouth of the river stands Sagarimatsu Bridge, built in 1869 for the horse trail in the settlement. A bit upstream stands Benten Bridge built during the Bunkyu period (1861-1864) when the land was reclaimed for the Oura settlement. The U-shaped building visible next to Myogyoji Temple on the left hill is the Belle Vue Hotel. On the other side of the port is the Nagasaki Shipyard controlled by the Ministry of Engineering. Since the dormitory for foreign employees built in April 1874, doesn’t show in this photo, it must have been taken before then.==Date:1872, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

Viewing the Old Site of Nishi-Yakusho from the Old Site of Daitokuji Temple

This photo captures the old site of the Nishi-Yakusho of the former Nagasaki Bugyosho office (present-day Prefectural Office) over the Zenza river taken from the old site of Daitokuji Temple. What used to be the Nishi-Yakusho is now a vacant lot. The first Prefectural Office made of wood was built in July 1874. However, the building was destroyed soon by a typhoon on August 20 of the same year. Therefore, it is presumed that this photo was probably taken around 1873 before the construction of the first Prefectural Office building. The big white building on the left is the site of the present-day main office of Eighteen Bank. The area with foliage in the center is where the old Satsuma Domain residence used to be, but the main building is gone. We can see Shinchi Bridge over the Doza river at Ishibashi, where the front gate of Shinchi-Kurasho (warehouse) was. ==Date:about 1874, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Ueno Hikoma?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)
