Geikos taking a walk

Geikos taking a walk

Three geiko entertainers pose in front of a restaurant, perhaps their work place. The women in the middle and on the right are wearing long-sleeve furisode kimono with long red sashes. They are raising the hem of the kimono because it inhibits walking at work. They are standing in a typical geiko pose.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐137‐0]

        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]
