A senior geisha serves a meal to younger geishas who are sitting in front of the alcove, traditionally the seat reserved for a guest or older people. The subtitle reads The Correct Serving of a Japanese Meal. This is obviously a staged photograph for foreigners. Although they were odd to Japanese people, scenes such as this seem to have appealed to foreigners.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐70‐0]
