This looks like a dress-up competition. The women's hair is neatly groomed and decorated with pins and combs. The hairstyle of the woman on the left (front row), called seiyo-mage, became popular as a result of a movement to improve women's coiffure started in 1885. The hair is separated at the center and pulled back behind the head, where it is arranged in three knots in a circle. The prominent collar and sash belt reflect the fashions at the time.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number78‐73‐0]

      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]
