Flyer living in the canal

After the opening of the port, the river canal, which was maintained and excavated as Yokohama grew as a city, became the subject of postcards and photographs.
There you can see various ships passing through the river, people who unload their luggage on the shore, and shops that line the eaves along the river.
The river canal, which is still a place for citizens to relax, was an artery that supported the economy of Yokohama.
The exhibition "Living in the Canal" will unravel the changes in the landscape of the "River Canal" that supported the economy of the city of Yokohama, and the history of the people who lived there from the materials remaining in Yokohama, Tokyo, and Chiba.

In 1889 (1889), six villages were born in both areas: Nakagawa Village, Miyako Tamura, Nitta Village, Sannai Village, Tana Village, and Nakazato Village. In addition to promoting various modern systems, these villages focused on sericulture during the Meiji period and cultivation of vegetables and fruits after the Taisho period. Bamboo shoots from Nakagawa Village and strawberries and peaches from Tamura City were shipped to Yokohama and Tokyo and gained a reputation, and Sannaimura had a contract with a major beer maker for beer and wheat cultivation. In 1939 (1939), one town and six villages, including both areas, were incorporated into Yokohama City to form the Kohoku Ward, and modern villages ended their role as administrative units, but the names of villages are still handed down to stations, schools, district centers and Neighborhood Associations.
