Nunobiki Falls, Kobe - revisited
Jan 30th, 2008 by Ad Blankestijn
Via Furoshiki Blog my attention was called to the New York Public Library Digital Collections, which contains many old photographs from 19th c. Japan.
This is an albumen print of the famous Nunobiki Falls in Kobe. It shows the lower one, the Medaki, situated immediately behind the Shinkobe Shinkansen Station.
It is interesting to see the difference with the present view: there is sort of dam now, and above all, the nice pavilion is completely lacking…
[This is how I saw the Nunobiki falls in February, 2007]
Read more about the Nunobiki Falls and their literary associations in my Nunobiki article.
