    New Kimono style in summer

    New way to wear yukata J'zk (Chazuke). Yukata is a traditional Japanese costume that was born in the Heian period (794-1192) and is also a type of kimono.

          A woman on the jinrikisha,Kasuga Shrine

          This photo captures a scene with a woman on a rickshaw feeding deer. It is hard to pinpoint the exact location, but it is probably the shrine approach of Kasuga Taisha, as stone lanterns are in the background. The woman is wearing kimono, Japanes-style chignon, and is holding a parasol. The rickshaw man is wearing zori sandals and a hat. This is a stereograph.==Date:1904, Place:Nara, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐21‐0]
