A woman holding an umbrella

The woman is holding an umbrella used for Japanese dancing. The umbrellas used for dancing were made of either silk or paper with beautiful patterns. They were not coated with oil and so could not be used on rainy days. The way the woman is holding the edge of the kimono with her left hand indicates that she is a geisha.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐69‐0]
