A wisteria trellis at Kameido Shrine

Many festivals are celebrated throughout the year at Kameido Tenjin Shrine. While the Wisteria Festival is well-known, Usokae Shinji is also popular. This event is based on the belief that the mythical uso bird returns from the previous year and brings good luck with it. The conversation staged between the shrine priest and an oni (devil) at the Setsubun Tsuinasai Festival in February is also interesting. Since the oni has four eyes, the roof of the shrine office is embellished with ceramic tiles showing a devil with four eyes.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐4‐0]

Houses of Mogi

This is a view of Mogi from the upstream area of Wakana River. Wakana River had little water at low tide but filled naturally at high tide. The wooden Wakana Bridge is visible in the downstream area. Most of the rooftops have ceramic tiles, but a few in the foreground are thatched. Mogi is close to Nagasaki in the south, Shimabara in the east and Omura in the north. Administration over the port changed hands from the Church, to the shogunate government, Shimabara Clan and the Nagasaki Magistrate over the years. It was upgraded to a village in 1879 and annexed to Nagasaki City in 1962.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐38‐0]
