      Farmers wearing straw raincoats and caps

      The men wear bamboo hats and hold straw baskets. They seem to be construction workers. These baskets were used by two people to carry stones and other heavy loads. The man wearing a chest coat under his raincoat may be a work union member.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R.

        A scene of threshing

            A woman enjoying the cool evening

            A woman is enjoying the cool air. She has her hair in the marumage style that distinguished married women.

              Women enjoying the cool evening

              Books (perhaps story books or Noh song books) lie on the tatami and on the knees of a woman with a marumage hairstyle. The woman lying on the tatami seems to have just come out of the bath. A fire vase and ash blower are seen on a tobacco tray. The reed screen and fan exude a feeling of summer.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐11‐0]

                A girl in a basket palanquin

                This may be a shitekago because the straw curtain seems to be rolled up. This kind of palanquin was made simply of four bamboo poles and braided bamboo sticks with straw curtain attached. The palanquin bearers had no set uniforms but carried ikizue (breath sticks) to regulate breathing. ==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number88‐47‐0]

                  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]
