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]
