Yokohama Archives of History Special Exhibition "Phantom Photographer Charles Weed: Unknown Bakumatsu Japanese Landscape"
At Yokohama Archives of History in Nihon Odori Avenue, we are holding a photo exhibition by Charles Weed, an American photographer who took pictures of Japan at the end of the Tokugawa period until March 12, 2023. This time, in addition to the space of "Public Information Yokohama" February 2023 issue "Yokohama Aya Discovery", we will introduce old photos of Weed.
1 Honmoku Wied as seen from Negishi Fudozaka 1867-1968 Yoji Okayama Collection
On the way down from the current Negishi Forest Park to Negishi Station, there is a long slope called Fudozaka. This photo is taken in the direction of Honmoku from Fudozaka at the end of the Tokugawa period. The sea on the right is Negishi Bay, and the village along the coast is Negishi Village. Now the sea is reclaimed and the Metropolitan Expressway runs, so the scenery has changed a lot.
2 Viewing Nojima from Kurantei in Hakkei Kanazawa Hakkei 1867-68, Yoji Okayama's storehouse
There is a temple called Kinryuin Temple near Kanazawa Hakkei Station in Keihinkyuko Line. The hill behind it was an "observation deck" overlooking the eight views of Kanazawa in the Edo period. The hill on the left in the photo is Nojima (now Nojimakoen). The right hand is now Muronogi in Yokosuka City. This area, which used to be inland sea, is now almost reclaimed.
3 "Road to Mount Fuji" Wied shooting 1867-1968 Collection by Yoji Okayama
In English, there is a caption called "Road to" Fusi Yama "(Mount Fuji) "". It looks like a landscape in the suburbs of Yokohama, but I don't know the shooting points well. Most of the Yokohama city area during the Edo period was such a sight. Is there anyone who knows where it was taken?
4 Photographs of Oura Reservoir and Dejima Weed in Nagasaki 1867-68, Yoji Okayama Collection
Weedes photograph not only Yokohama but also Nagasaki scenery. In Nagasaki, as in Yokohama, "foreign settlements" were created. The area where the Western-style buildings on the right side are lined up is Oura settlement. From the center of the back to the left is Dejima, where Dutch people lived in the Edo period.
5 Edo Weed as seen from Atagoyama 1867-1968 Collection by Yoji Okayama
Atagoyama, where the NHK Broadcasting Museum is currently located. It was a superb view point overlooking Edo during the Edo period. The front left is Shinfukuji Temple. It is a temple where foreign missions also stayed. In the photo, the mansions of daimyo and Hagimoto are endlessly spread. Today, even if you climb to the top of the mountain, the surrounding buildings are higher, and you can't see them at all.
