Girls clenching their fists

Girls clenching their fists

Ken (fist) is a game played by two people with the hands and fingers. The two people face each other and shout time. The game was played as entertainment at parties. The headbands and informal way of sitting conveys the atmosphere of conviviality. The game was first introduced from China via Nagasaki during the Edo Period. In English the game is called paper, scissors and rock.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐6‐0]

      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]

        Probably a commemorative photo within the temple compounds. People in the back look towards the camera because photos were still rare at the time. The same woman is seen in the photo numbered 46-131.==Date:unknown, Place:Shiga, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number46‐125‐0]

            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]

Taken in the mid-Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number50‐3‐0]

                Five young women stand dressed up in front of the front gate. Two stand and the other three sit on a long chair. The location is outdoors, but it probably is a set in a studio. It may be a commemorative photo of the five.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number45‐30‐0]

                  The Tamadare Falls,Yumoto Spa

                  This photo was taken with almost the same angle as catalogue #2956, and thus, it was probably taken at the same time. One man is in the fall whereas four women are wearing yukata summer kimono looking at the cascade and cooling themselves. Since the way they are is unnatural, they may have been posed for the photograph. This was taken after 1891 when this waterfall area was made to be Takinomae Park.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐45‐0]

                      Girls enjoy the cool air of evening with close friends, wearing single-layer summer kimono and clogs with middle supports.
