PENNY POINTS TO PARADISE

PENNY POINTS TO PARADISE Date: 1951

Stirring the paddy field

A farmer is cultivating the field using black-haired cow at a rice paddie in Uji. A rope and a plow are tied to the back of the cow and each time the cow pulls the plow, the rice paddie is cultivated. A big warehouse is behind and a small shack covered with mats is made temporarily next to it, and a farmer with a balance pole is carrying goods. The rice seedlings may be preserved in the shack. This photo could have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Uji, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐24‐0]

A water mill at Hakone

This is the northeastern view from the present-day parking lot of Miyagino Hojuin Temple. The water mill was taken place by a residential house, but the Setosawa Creek and the waterway on the left side of the water mill still exist today. The site where the palanquin men stand was the rice paddie until around 1975. The mountains far away are Myoujingadake and Hiuchidake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:A.
