        A family celebrating their child

        The boys are probably brothers with their older sister. They wear haori coats and hakama trousers. The woman holding the younger brother on her knees is probably the mother and the woman on the right her mother-in-law.

This is probably a photograph to commemorate a Meiji Period Shichi-go-san children's day festival, because the padded clothing indicate early winter.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐2‐0]
