A dobbin carrying rice bags and the driver

This is coloured photograph of a farming village taken in the early years of the Meiji Period. It shows four rice bags on the back of a draft horse. A small rice bag is seen on top of the other four. This draft horse is a small but powerful native species of Japan. The man in charge of the horse is a down-to-earth looking farmer. His attire suggests that it is late autumn or early winter. A few wooden barrels and pails are seen in the hut behind him. The pails may be used to carry manure.==Date:Middle Meiji (1883-1897), Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐152‐0]

    Harvesting rice

    A farming family is placing harvested bundles of rice onto a draft horse. The man with a head towel may be the father, the woman standing his daughter, the woman stooping down to tie rice bundles may be the grandmother, and the woman on the left may be the mother. Bird rattles hang from poles in the rice paddy. The season is autumn, but the location is unknown. Probably taken in the Meiji Period.==Date:Middle Meiji (1883-1897), Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐79‐0]
