Sumo wrestling

Taiko-bashi (drum) Bridge at Kameido Shrine

Stereograph published in 1904. Although the bridge is the same as in photographs #5001and #2215, the stone lantern in the foreground is larger. Gentlemen wearing Western-style suits and hats are visible among the worshippers, a sign of the times. Frequently a notice was posted on the parapets urging the elderly, ladies and children not to cross the bridge because of the danger (from Saishin Tokyo Hanjoki published in 1903).==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐66‐0]

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]

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]

Sumo wrestlers and a gyoji (referee)

This is one of the photographs removed from a Yokohama album. The English title is, Wrestlers and Umpire. The sumo wrestlers look like amateurs.

Picture of a group of people

Men and women photographed together. They do not look the same age. The age will vary 4-5 years. The nature of this group is unknown, but they all look happy and well-acquainted.
