          A woman on the jinrikisha,Kasuga Shrine

          This photo captures a scene with a woman on a rickshaw feeding deer. It is hard to pinpoint the exact location, but it is probably the shrine approach of Kasuga Taisha, as stone lanterns are in the background. The woman is wearing kimono, Japanes-style chignon, and is holding a parasol. The rickshaw man is wearing zori sandals and a hat. This is a stereograph.==Date:1904, Place:Nara, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐21‐0]

            A stone lantern and a woman,Kasuga Shrine

            A woman pointing at stone lanterns. The exact location of the photo cannot be determined. However, as there are many stone lanterns, it is definately within shrine precincts. It is a stereograph, and the photo was possibly taken around the same time as catalogue #4957, by the same photographer. The woman is wearing kimono, Japanese-style chignon, and holding a parasol.==Date:1904, Place:Nara, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐25‐0]

                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]
