Women carrying luggage on their heads

Women carrying luggage on their heads

There is no caption for this picture, but it is probably Oharame in Kyoto. Girls walking along the road have folded the hem of their kimonos up and have towels wrapped around their necks and over their heads. Some wear aprons. The loads on their heads are wrapped in furoshiki (wrapping cloth).==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number9‐43‐0]

        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]

          Weaving at a farmer's house

          The weaving device is a tall model. The women are barefoot and have their kimono sleeves pulled up with cords. The tattered shoji screens suggest that this is a weaving room. The English caption indicates that these are farmers' wives weaving cotton cloth.==Date:1904, Place:unknown, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐52‐0]
            Arashiyama

            Arashiyama

            Arashiyama (Mt. Arashi) has a height of about 380 meters. It is located on the east edge of the Tanba Highlands and has Torigamine and Yamagamine to the northwest and Mt. Matsuo to the southeast. Hozu River runs from the north to the east at the northern foot of the mountain. A bamboo grove with a brushwood fence is shown at the bank of Hozu River, with hotels in the distance. A rickshaw with a woman passenger stands in front of the grove and a man stands nearby. The left side of the road is probably a boat anchorage. Two people stand with towels hanging from their necks.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number19‐6‐0]

              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]

                Women rubbing cheeks

                A woman has a child on her lap, and has both hands around the child with cheeks touching. In the picture it is written Japanese girls, but actually it looks more like a mother and daughter. This pose is rather Western. It may be a dramatized photo taken by a Westerner.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:[R. Stillfried], (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number27‐24‐0]
