Summary

Description
English: Port of Hakodate Map (奥州箱館之図). It depicts the port of Hakodate around 1863, shortly after the opening of the port. Hakodateyama is located in front, and Hakodate Port spreads out to the right. There is Benten Daiba at the mouth of the bay, and Goryokaku is drawn at the bottom left of the screen, which is a little away from the town that spreads out at the foot of the mountain, but it is a pure Japanese-style castle. The building in the middle of the forest is the Hakodate government office, near the current Motomachi Park. Inside the harbor, a steamship with the flags of Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands is drawn along with many Japanese ships. Even around the first and second years of the Meiji era, when the Battle of Hakodate began, it would have been such a quiet situation when there was no battle.
日本語: 「奥州箱館之図」(市立函館博物館所蔵)。開港後間もない文久3年(1863)の頃の箱館港を描いている。正面に箱館山を配置し、右手前に大きく箱館港が広がる。湾口には弁天台場があり、山裾に広がる町と少し離れた画面左下に五稜郭が描かれているが、純日本風の城になっている。 港内には、多くの和船に交じってロシア・アメリカ・イギリス・オランダの旗を掲げた蒸気船が描かれている。箱館戦争が始まっていた明治元年・二年の頃も、戦闘がない時には、このように静かな情勢であったことであろう。
