A woman carrying a portable candlestick

A woman with a portable lantern casts a sidelong glance. She has a kanzashi hairpin in her hair. The maruobi sash and type of kimono suggest that she is a maiko dancer. The base of a body supporter is visible. This was used to keep the subject immobile while the shutter was open.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐72‐0]
