    Stirring the paddy field

    Stirring the paddy field

    A farmer is cultivating the field using black-haired cow at a rice paddie in Uji. A rope and a plow are tied to the back of the cow and each time the cow pulls the plow, the rice paddie is cultivated. A big warehouse is behind and a small shack covered with mats is made temporarily next to it, and a farmer with a balance pole is carrying goods. The rice seedlings may be preserved in the shack. This photo could have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Uji, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐24‐0]

          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 mat is hanging behind to prevent grains from scattering.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐75‐0]

                  A girl in a basket palanquin

                  This may be a shitekago because the straw curtain seems to be rolled up. This kind of palanquin was made simply of four bamboo poles and braided bamboo sticks with straw curtain attached. The palanquin bearers had no set uniforms but carried ikizue (breath sticks) to regulate breathing. ==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number88‐47‐0]
