Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

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]

The city of Kyoto seen from Maruyama

Western view of the northern part of Kyoto from the Yoshimizu Hot Spring building. The road stretching from the centre of the photo to the left corner is the approach to Yasaka Shinto Shrine. Although the site would later become Maruyama Park, no work has been done yet, and a few restaurants stand in the area. A two-story Western-style building of yosemune-zukuri style stands on the northeast side of the street where cherry blossoms would later become a tourist attraction. The Nishiyama Mountain Range is faintly visible in the background.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐3‐0]

Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

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]

Kagami-ike (Mirror Pond), Todaiji Temple

Kagami-ike (Mirror Pond), Todaiji Temple

This is Kagami-ike (Mirror Pond) located at the southeast of Chumon Gate of Todaiji Temple. Since Mt. Wakakusa is visible afar, this is the view from the Nanboku (lit. South-North) approach to the temple when facing southeast. The stairs at west of Nakashima Island and a torii gate are present. People originally entered from the west, however, at present the entrance is from the back east side.==Date:unknown, Place:Nara, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐3‐0]

Shrine among mountains

Shrine among mountains

A view from the Fujiya Hotel. The left is the Naraya Hotel, the front mountain is the Myojogatake, and the right corner is the Kumano Gongen. The Odo Bunko which was built in 1894 by Chamberlain, who stayed for a long period at the Fujiya hotel, cannot be seen right under the Gongen, so the photo was probably taken before that.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number46‐183‐0]

Byobu torii gate at the approach to hakone shrine

Byobu torii gate at the approach to hakone shrine

This torii does not stand at present, only a monument next to a petrol station. But it was probably famous during the Meiji era, and many photos remain of this scene. A procession of mountain palanquins and umbrellas is seen, some of the people looking like soldiers. It is scenic spot with a view of Ashino Lake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number14‐7‐0]

Mt. Fuji seen from Lake Ashi

Ashino Lake and Mt.Fuji seen from the forefront of Hakone Elementary School. It is a view of the so-called Sakasa Fuji (Mt.Fuji upside down). In the mountain to the right of the lake is the Hakone Gongen. The famous red torii of the shrine was built in 1960 to commemorate the official investiture of the Crown Prince and so is not in the photo.==Date:Middle Meiji, Place:Hakone, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number3‐42‐0]

HONMOKU shrine

HONMOKU shrine

The caption reads view of Honmoku near Yokohama, but this is a photo of Honmoku Shrine (Juni Tensha) on the Honmoku beach taken from the mountain side. This shrine was the guardian of Hongo village and became Honmoku Shrine with the Buddhist and Shinto separation in the early Meiji era. Votive pictures of horses can be seen next to the shrine.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number3‐12‐0]

Mt. Fuji seen from a mountain village

Mt. Fuji seen from a mountain village

Mt. Fuji viewed from around Murayama, Fujinomiya City (?). When climbing to Mt. Fuji from Fujinomiya, travelers stopped at Murayama Sengen Shrine and Dainichi-do in Murayama Village to worship. Since Mt. Hoei can be seen jutting up on the right, it is likely that this photograph was taken in Murayama, but the lack of an object of reference makes it difficult to determine the exact location.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number104‐4‐0]
