Hiroshige - 53 Stations of the Tokaido - Print 55

55 Kyoto - In the foreground the "long" bridge over the Kamo River, and people crossing over, with the town beyond, behind which rise hills overlooking it, the most distant printed from graded colourblock only. While decending to Kyoto, travellers could enjoy a panoramic view of the elegant imperial capital from the mountain pass and undoubtedly felt joy and relief at seeing the final destination of their journey from Edo. In those days it was the wish of every Japanese to see Kyoto once in his life.Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858). The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido - Hoeido edition (1831-4) Date: 1831 - 1834

27 Kakegawa - Travellers crossing a high trestle-bridge over the Kake River, two of them peering into the water below, and behind a small boy watching a kite up in the air, while beyond another, with broken string, flutters to earth. Peasants transplanting rice in the flooded fields, and in the distance Mount Akiba rising above the mists. A shrine standing on the top of a mountain near this station attracted worshippers from all over Japan who came to pray for protection against the calamity of fire. An old couple of travellers are struggling against a strong wind as they toil to cross the arched bridge. A naughty boy is following them with a mocking gesture. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858).

A rapid river at Miyanoshita

This is Hayakawa River as seen between Miyanoshita and Kiga Hot Springs. The wooden bridge must be the one near present-day Tokyo Electric Kawakubo Power Plant along the Hayakawa Promenade. The roof of a building is visible at center left, but it is not clear what it is.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐37‐0]

Oji-bashi Bridge

There is no Ojibashi bridge in Tokyo. Even the scenery does not appear to be Tokyo. If the title Ohjibashi is correct, then this must be the bridge over Ibi River in Mitsu-machi in present-day Hyogo Prefecture, one of many bridges all over Japan that share a similar name.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐33‐0]

Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

Northeastern view of the snow-capped peak of Mt. Fuji, taken from the bank of Fuji River in Iwabuchi, Fujikawa-machi. The mountain on the left is Mt. Iwamoto, and the tree line reaches to the forest of Matsuoka Sui Shinto Shrine (Fuji City) on the left. Two men are at the riverside, and Fujigawa Bridge, which crosses from the south of the shrine to Iwabuchi, is visible. This bridge was washed away many times from the beginning of the Meiji Period. It is difficult to determine exactly when this photograph was taken.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number86‐5‐0]

Yumoto Spa

This is the spa town of Yumoto. The white building in the centre is Fukuzumi Inn, Kinzenro Inn built in 1877, and Bansuiro Inn completed in 1878 are visible. The old Asahi Bridge is over Hayakawa River on the right, which will be replaced by the new wooden truss bridge in September, 1885. Hence, this photo was taken between 1878 and 1885. The river in the foreground is Sukumo, and the mountain on the left is Yusaka.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:A.

Northeastern view of Mt. Fuji from the bank of Fuji River at Iwabuchi in Fujigawa-machi. The ferry port of Iwabuchi is in the foreground, and Matsuoka Sui Shinto Shrine of Fuji City is visible in the forest on the other side. The bridge between the shrine and Iwabuchi is not visible in this photograph, perhaps because it had been recently washed away, which often happened due to the rapid flow of Fuji River. The mountain on the left is Mt. Iwamoto, and pine trees line the other side of the river.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐16‐0]

Tonosawa

This is a little higher up from the present iron bridge of Deyama. The Hayakawa River flows in the center. The gradient is milder around here, and so is the flow. The mountain on the right is the foot of Tonomine and a part of Mt. Myougadake is visible behind. There is Amida Temple in Tonomine. The forest on the left is at the foot of Mt. Yusaka, and at present National Route 1 runs along Hayakawa River.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number77‐15‐0]

A wooden brifge in the mountains of Hakone

There are many rivers and streams, big and small, in Hakone mountains. However, the major rivers are Hayakawa and Sukumo. It is difficult to tell which one this is, but judging from the width and the shapes of the rocks, it is probable that this is Sukumo River. The wooden bridge, whcih seems like just a log was placed, like this one can be seen in the photos of Dogashima and Kiga over Hayakawa River, but the sceneries of them appear different from this one.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐81‐0]

Hozu Gorge, also called Arashi Gorge, is a 13km stretch from around Hozu Bridge in Kameoka to Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama. This is a scenic point where rapids and unusual rock formations can be enjoyed. Tributaries such as Kiyotaki River flow into the V-shaped gorge at an altitude of 400 meters. This photograph was taken sometime after August 1899, when the Kyoto Railway Company line between Saga and Sonobe opened.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number46‐107‐0]

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 road on the left is Nagasaki Road leading to Himi Pass. A new road stretching from this point to Yagami on the other side of the mountain was constructed in 1882 by the Himi Shindo Co. led by Matsuda Gengoro and eight others. This was Japan's first toll road, charging one sen a person.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐31‐0]
