Women picking up shells

Women picking up shells

Shell gathering at low tide was a recreation. Especially at the time of spring tide (from March 3 through 7 on the lunar calendar), the gap between high and low tides is large. This outing on the beach is observed on March 3 in many areas of Japan. It is a major event of the season. This photograph must have been taken in a studio because the women are wearing socks.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐96‐0]

    A mother,her child and a nurse

    The half-naked woman on the left seems to be a nursemaid. Foreign visitors to Japan at the end of the Edo Period were surprised to see Japanese women going about half-naked in public. This custom apparently continued into the Meiji Period. This may be a souvenir photograph depicting the custom of Japanese nursing at the time. The two photographs create a three-dimensional image when viewed through a stereoscope.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Pierre Rossier, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number70‐2‐0]

        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.

          A chair and a woman

          A woman standing by a European chair covered with a cloth. She is wearing a pale purple kimono with no design and a black collar fashionable in Tokyo in the mid-Meiji Period. The sash is tied in a chidori-musubi knot. Her hair is arranged in the otarai style popular among relatively older women of the Meiji Period. This is a studio photograph.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐35‐0]

            A woman wearing a hood of nobility

            Although taken in a studio, this shows photograph how an okosozukin (a combination of hood and veil) serves to protect women from the cold in the winter. The woman is wearing a michiyuki coat and holding a Japanese umbrella.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number1‐9‐0]
              The Tamadare Falls,Yumoto Spa

              The Tamadare Falls,Yumoto Spa

              This photo was taken with almost the same angle as catalogue #2956, and thus, it was probably taken at the same time. One man is in the fall whereas four women are wearing yukata summer kimono looking at the cascade and cooling themselves. Since the way they are is unnatural, they may have been posed for the photograph. This was taken after 1891 when this waterfall area was made to be Takinomae Park.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐45‐0]

                A mother and a girl

                The mother wears her hair in modern hisashi-gami style, while her daughter wears a hat and apron. The costume is evocative of the mid-Meiji Period. This is a studio photograph. The hisashi-gami replaced the traditional nihon-gami and became a typical hairstyle for young women who wore maroon-coloured hakama skirts.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐190‐0]

                  Women sitting on chairs

                  Two women wear wooden clogs with high supports. Both appear to be older geisha with hair arranged in inase-fu marumage style. They are sitting on chairs and wear kimono with black collars and haori coats. On the left, two umbrellas are leaning against the candle stand. Mt. Fuji is painted on the curtain hanging behind, and a European carpet is spread on the floor.
