Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

With Mt. Fuji topped with white snow in the background, a rickshaw, people and aged person appear on the wooden bridge over Numa River. The boat has one mast, and a square sail is placed in the middle. This is probably a cargo boat of the time called Bezai boat. The bay with Mt. Fuji in the background is a very popular scene in Japan.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number10‐15‐0]

A cargo boat on the Nihonbashi River

View of Nihonbashi River looking west, taken from Nihonbashi Bridge. The river is busy with cargo boats. Mt. Fuji was visible from this spot on clear days. The left side of the river is Nishi-gashi (west riverside), and the bridge visible in the far right is Nishi (West) Bridge. This was a transitional period when land transportation was replacing water transportation, but at this time the canal still played a major role in transporting goods. This stereograph was published in 1904 in a book-shaped case.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐78‐0]

A soldier and Mt. Fuji

Research conducted by the Yokohama Archives of History indicates that this photograph is a view of Mt. Fuji from Fuji-Yoshida in Yamanashi Prefecture. From ancient times, the path to the summit of Mt. Fuji started in Fuji-Yoshida, and this seems to have been taken somewhere along the path. A samurai and two men are on the log bridge over the stream. Taken by Felix Beato.==Date:about 1870, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:F.

Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

Northern view of Mt. Fuji from Tagonoura (formerly Yoshiwara Minato) harbour in Fuji City. Since the stone dam is visible in the distance, this photograph must have been taken after 1886. The X-shaped reinforcements and the low parapet indicate that Tagonoura Bridge had been rebuilt by this time. There is a rickshaw on the bridge, and four boats of various sizes are visible.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐18‐0]

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]

The Kamaguchi-bashi,a suspension bridge over the Fuji River

View, facing south, of the suspension bridge over Kamaguchi Gorge (a rugged section of Fuji River) between Naganuki in Shibakawa-cho and Setojima. The rapid flow of Fuji River makes bridges difficult to maintain. During the Edo Period, this was the only bridge over the river. Both banks are cliffs, and the width of the river is at its narrowest here. Several people are on the bridge, which is made of wisteria vines and planks. There is also a suspension bridge made only of vines.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:A. Farsari, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number82‐51‐0]

Mt. Fuji seen from a bridge on the Tokaido Road

Northern view of Mt. Fuji from Kawai Bridge in Suzukawa, Fuji City. The bridge crosses Numa River on the Tokaido Highway. Pine trees are growing on the west side of the bridge. Huts with thatched roofs stand on the east side, which serves as a harbor. The absence of carriage tracks on the bridge indicates that this photograph was taken before 1891.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:A.

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]

The Tokaido Road and Mt. Fuji

Northern view of Mt. Fuji from the sand dune of Suzukawa in Fuji City. The pine trees crossing horizontally in the centre of the photograph mark the Tokaido Highway. Kawai Bridge lies between the two tall pine trees on the left and the thatched-roof house. Rice paddies stretch between the dune and the highway. The presence of train tracks indicate that this photograph was taken after the opening of the Tokaido Line in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐17‐0]

Tagonoura Bridge and Mt. Fuji

Northern view of Mt. Fuji from the mouth of Tagonoura (formerly Yoshiwara Minato) harbour in Fuji City. The reinforcements to the girders of Tagonoura Bridge (built in 1873) indicate that this photograph was taken after photograph #3146. Also, because the stone gate to block the back flow is missing in the inner part of the harbour, this photograph must have been taken before 1886. Four or five people can be seen standing on the bridge.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐48‐0]

Mt. Fuji seen from Numakawa,Tagonoura

The boat is probably the cargo boat of the time, the Bezai boat. The sail has been folded, and the boat is anchored and covered with a straw mat. Tagonoura was a port of the Edo era where sengokubune (junks with a capacity for a thousand koku of rice) came in and out from Kashima, a territory of the Shogunate. The shadow of the wooden bridge is beautiful. * A photo from the same angle is in the book edited by Ozawa Kenji The End of the Bakufu and Meiji in Pictures , entitled Mt.Fuji from Tagonoura 1880s Kinpei Album, p.67. The only difference with (7) is the angle.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number15‐45‐0]
