        People enjoy a boat ride. The two women on the left are wearing kimono of different colors with splashed patterns. The woman on the right has her hair in Shimada style with a red cloth in the bangs. This is a hairstyle called yakko shimada that was popular among young women aged 13 to 17. The size of the boat and setting suggest that this photograph was taken in a studio.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:A.

          Women

          Five women pose for the camera. Their hair is in shimada and seiyo-sagemaki style. The former features groomed bangs, side locks, and back hair. In the latter the hair is separated at the center of the forehead and pulled back behind the head. The garments such as the long coat, half-coat and padded kimono do not indicate any particular season. The photograph was probably taken just to show how Japanese women dressed at the time.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐4‐0]

                A woman with hair arranged in momoware or peach style is turning the pages of a book in front of a tea set, suggesting noble birth. The fence in the garden and the atmosphere of the room with an alcove also exude a sense of opulence.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐9‐0]

                  A waiting maid serving tea to the lady

                  A maid is offering a cup of tea to a lady in formal attire. The lady is wearing a kimono with her family crest on the left and right sleeves and the back, and her hair is arranged in the shimada style. Maids usually wore short-sleeved kimono, but this woman is wearing a long-sleeved furisode and women's culottes. This may be the result of a mistake by the photographer. The layout of the alcove where a scroll is hanging and the setting of the floor with carpet-like mattresses are also odd.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R.
