Tea picking

Tea picking

Women are picking tea leaves. They have cloths on their heads and their sleeves pulled up with cords. The kimono and sashes suggest that they are daughters of well-to-do-families working as apprentices. Each woman is picking randomly, and there are no furrows in the field. It is likely not a real setting.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐100‐0]

Tea picking

Tea picking

This photo captures women picking tea leaves at a tea farm in Uji. It is reported that Uji tea started when the Emperor Gosaga visited here in the mid thirteenth century and opened Komatsu and Kohata Nishiura Tea Garden. In those days the tea for exporting purposes has increased. Consequently the tea union and the tea processing companies were established by the instruction of Kyoto Prefecture and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. Due to the efforts, the quality improvement and production increase were made. This could have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Uji, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐22‐0]

Performing girls

The women seem to be imitating a zangiri-kyogen or comic farce. The young woman in a red kimono is taking a pose with a kitchen knife in her hand. Derived from the Kyogen plays of the Edo Period that depicted everyday troubles of the people, this style was soon to be replaced by the shinpa-geki or new school of drama.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐43‐0]
