A woman with a shamisen

A woman with a shamisen

Bundles of wisteria flowers are in a vase next to the bamboo partition. A tobacco tray, tobacco pipe and fan are lined up on the floor. The season is most likely summer. A shamisen lute is placed against the partition. The woman wears a single-layer kimono with her hand in the sleeve, leaning against the pillar. She seems to be striking a pose.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐47‐0]

    Women taking a rest

    Two young women relax half nude. A kiseru tobacco pipe, tobacco tray, clothes rack, square paper lantern, fan, and a hakomakura box pillow (to keep the hair in place) are visible on the floor. This was probably taken as a souvenir for foreign visitors.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number86‐18‐0]

      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]

              The kimono looks shabby for a geisha at a flower viewing banquet. It is unnatural to place a flower pot directly on the tatami mat of the guest room. The flowers in the pot and vase suggest spring.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐18‐0]
