Private talk

Two courtesan-like young women are whispering to each other. This is a dramatized pose to call the attention of foreigners. One holds a long pipe and in front of her is a tobacco case and tobacco tray. A flower pot is placed on a stand made of red sandalwood.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number13‐12‐0]

      A guest room after a party is over

      A guest room is shown after a party. All the guests are gone. The three women in kimono may be the head of the restaurant and two waitresses. The zabuton cushions used by the guests are scattered about. Sake bottles, large and small plates, and tobacco trays are also visible on the tatami. All three women wear the wide sashes popular since the later years of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number83‐8‐0]

        Performing girls

        The women seem to be imitating a zangiri-kyogen or comic farce. The young woman in a red kimono is taking a pose with a kitchen knife in her hand. Derived from the Kyogen plays of the Edo Period that depicted everyday troubles of the people, this style was soon to be replaced by the shinpa-geki or new school of drama.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐43‐0]

          An old couple (Yamamoto Shugen and his wife)

          This photograph depicts a certain Yamamoto Shugen and his wife in Japanese dress. The man holds beads in his hand, while the woman is holding a fan. What seems like a tobacco tray is visible in front of them and a folding screen in the rear. This seems to have been taken as a portrait, but the details are not known.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number71‐60‐0]

            Two young women relax half nude. A kiseru tobacco pipe, tobacco tray, clothes rack, square paper lantern, fan, and a hakomakura box pillow (to keep the hair in place) are visible on the floor. This was probably taken as a souvenir for foreign visitors.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number86‐18‐0]

                A set of hanafuda or flower playing cards consists of 48 cards, or four cards depicting different flowers for each month (12 for each of the four seasons). Different points are allocated to each card. Games include hachihachi, kabu and koikoi, and the cards can also be used for gambling. A long tobacco pipe is visible beside the woman on the left.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number76‐36‐0]

                  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]
