A woman with an ornamental hairpin

A girl holding a fan wears a kimono with tucked shoulders (to allow for growth) and a loosely hanging sash. Her appearance indicates that she is training to be a geisha. The kanzashi hairpin seems rather pretentious, but it may be a gift from a patron.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐29‐0]
