Mother dressing a child in her best clothes

Mother dressing a child in her best clothes

A dramatized photo of a mother dressing her daughter, who appears to be about 7 years old. It could be for the shichi-go-san (festival for children of three, five and seven years of age). By them are a tray with a tea set and a square brazier. A shamisen hangs on the wall, a biwa leans against the wall, and a scroll hangs with flowers arranged in the tokonoma. A dramatization of Japan.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number16‐7‐0]

    Viljandi Folk Music Festival

    24.07.2023, Viljandi. Preparations for the 30th Viljandi Folk Music Festival. The folk music festival that takes place in Viljandi Castle Hills and city center every July is the ultimate expression of the unique way of thinking that started spreading in the beginning of the 1990s. It values tradition, heritage and local identity and tries to adapt the spiritual values that people have developed over hundreds and thousands of years to the contemporary way of life. The aim of all of it is to keep our traditions alive, strengthen our national character and invigorate our musical mother tongue. Photo: Elmo Riig/SAKALA

        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 playing go

          Two women facing each other are about to start a game of go in front of a tokonoma (alcove). Tea and sweets are placed in the foreground, and the white and black pebbles used in the game are visible. The dried flowers placed on a table in front of the tokonoma present an artificial scene.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number92‐50‐0]

            A woman with a shamisen

            The woman's expression suggests that she is saying Who is there? What do you want? I am busy tuning my lute. This is a Japanese-style room with a flower and bird scroll on the wall and a byobu screen.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐70‐0]

              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]

                  A family celebrating their child

                  The boys are probably brothers with their older sister. They wear haori coats and hakama trousers. The woman holding the younger brother on her knees is probably the mother and the woman on the right her mother-in-law. A woven bamboo basket containing rice cakes or perhaps chimaki dumplings is nearby. This is probably a photograph to commemorate a Meiji Period Shichi-go-san children's day festival, because the padded clothing indicate early winter.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐2‐0]

                    Three young women practice singing and playing instruments in a breezy corner room facing the garden. A woman plays the shamisen. The other sings, and the other plays the koto.

                      An elderly man in a haori coat is enjoying a game of go with young women in this portrayal of everyday life. He is patting his forehead playfully and acknowledging defeat. The two women have their hair arranged in marumage style. The setting is in a zashiki guest room. Confectionaries are on a tray in front. Taken in the mid-Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number50‐3‐0]
