Ferries,the Sumida River

Ferries,the Sumida River

Probably the ferry dock called Takeya-no-Watashi at Mukojima. Another photograph taken downstream shows these people at the same time. Stone steps descend to the river from where the man is standing in the centre, and the ferry dock called Terashima-no-Watashi is visible upstream. However, the boat depicted here is not a ferry but a yanebune (roofed boat) used for entertainment. This is one of the photographs in the album sold at Kinpei Photograph Studio, indicating that it was taken by Kusakabe Kinbei in the early Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐31‐0]

Geikos on a leisure boat

The yatakabune (also yanebune ) had a roof to shield passengers from sunshine. It was used to enjoy the cool weather while boating down the rivers in the Kyoto area. Among the passengers are dancing girls in long sleeve kimono with dangling sashes, their hair decorated with floral combs.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐116‐0]
