A leisure boat on the Sumida River

Roofed boat taken at the bank of Imado River in front of Yumei-ro where Sanya-bori (moat) merges with Sumida River. The water is too shallow to allow the boat to float, which explains why the photograph is so sharp. In the rear is Mukojima, site of Ushijima Shinto Shrine and Chomeiji Temple. Found in the collection of Uchida Kuichi preserved at Nagasaki Municipal Museum, this photograph was verified to have been taken by Uchida in 1872.

This photograph resembles two photographs taken by Uchida Kuichi, but it is probably an Ogawa Kazumasa photograph taken around 1897.

Sakura-mochi (cherry cake), which people ate in the cherry-blossom season, is said to have been created by Yamamoto Shinroku, the gateman at Chomeiji Temple in Mukojima during the Genroku Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number85‐35‐0]

A resident of Mikawashima Village named Monzaburo is said to have designed it. According to historical records, the ownership later transferred to Matsudaira Echizennokami of the Fukui Clan of Echizen, and then to Satake Sakyodayu of Akita Clan in 1860.

Satake Garden,Mukojima

Called Koyoen, the garden of the Akita Clan Satake family opened to the public in the mid-Meiji Period and gained fame as one of the most beautiful gardens of the former Edo. However, in 1903 it became the possession of Sapporo Brewery Company, which established its Azuma-bashi factory nearby and used the remainder of the garden as a beer garden where customers could enjoy the product of the brewery. In 1906, the facility became the Dai Nippon Brewery Company Azuma Factory, and the garden disappeared in the wake of factory expansions during the Taisho Period (1912-1926) and the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Today, a few trees and an explanation panel next to the Sumida Ward Hall are the only reminders of the former garden.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number85‐9‐0]
