A crowd on the approach to Toshogu Shrine,Nikko

Omote-sando is the approach to Nikko Toshogu Shrine. There are trenches on both sides and in the centre of the path. The fact that most of the people are on the left side of the central trench indicates that this was taken on the first day of Hyakumono-zoroe Sennin Gyoretsu (1000 Samurai Procession) Festival. The many parasols indicate that it is the annual spring festival day.==Date:unknown, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐9‐2]

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. A woven bamboo basket containing rice cakes or perhaps chimaki dumplings is nearby. 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]
