Matsushima

This photo captures Matsushima Beach as seen from Kyogashima Island. The Kanrantei Teahouse in the Momohama Period (late 16th century) architecture style, a Designated Cultural Asset of Miyagi Prefecture, is visible in the distance, just to the left side of the island. The boat is a chabune with full sail. The calm surface of the water is strikingly beautiful.==Date:1904, Place:Matsushima, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐13‐0]

A man fishing with a square net

This is a valuable photo depicting a fishing technique previously unknown even to folklorists. It appears to be shirauo fishing in the early spring, as bamboo leaves are visible in the square net. In the backgound is a single-sailed boat called chabune.==Date:1904, Place:Matsushima, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐53‐0]

Matsushima

This is a view of Matsushima Bay from Oshima, which is known as a holy place. Some islands, Shiogama City, and the Urato Islands are visible in the distance, as well as the horizon of the Pacific Ocean. The wind fills the sails of the chabune in the foreground. Such boats no longer exist.==Date:unknown, Place:Matsushima, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐52‐0]
