    Rice planting

    Farmers are busy planting rice in flooded paddies near Kyoto. They are barefoot and wearing short kimonos because of the water. The women have their heads covered with hand towels, and the men wear straw hats to protect themselves from the sun. The mountains indicate that the location is either Kameoka, Yamashina, or Minami-Yoshiro. This may have been taken by the British photographer H.G. Ponting.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐23‐0]

          Girls arranging flowers

          A photograph of young women engaged in flower arrangement. Judging from the fusuma sliding doors and scroll hanging on the wall this was likely taken inside. The colouring added to the kimonos, sash, rabbit-ear iris and red flowers is nothing but artless.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number83‐19‐0]
