A woman wearing a hood of nobility

The okoso-zukin (combination hood and veil) was a winter costume for women. Covering the entire head and part of the face, it is a square cloth with a string that is tied under the chin. Women sometimes used the okoso-zukin to cover their mouth. Women wrapped it in both a clockwise and counter clockwise direction.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number50‐36‐0]

                      Two women are relaxing together but are not engaged in a conversation. A byobu screen is standing next to the tokonoma (alcove) and a brazier is in front of them. The combination of a fan (for summer) and a tea kettle on a brazier (for winter) is rather unnatural.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐8‐0]
