Ainu women

Ainu women

These two, like other adult Ainu women, have tattoos around the mouth. They wear earrings and chokas-rekutunpe amulet necklaces. There was no protocol as to whether the left or right side of the collar should be worn in front. They wear hos gaiters on their legs. The wooden doors (wall?) in the background are the same as those in photograph #3911.==Date:unknown, Place:Hokkaido, Photo:R.

    Ueno Saneo and his friends

    Little is know today about Ueno Saneo. The people in the photograph are probably his family, servants, and friends. They all wear Japanese kimono, and the hairstyles of the women indicate the Taisho Period.==Date:1920, Place:Awajishima, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐9‐0]
      Geisha having a meal

      Geisha having a meal

      A senior geisha serves a meal to younger geishas who are sitting in front of the alcove, traditionally the seat reserved for a guest or older people. The subtitle reads The Correct Serving of a Japanese Meal. This is obviously a staged photograph for foreigners. Although they were odd to Japanese people, scenes such as this seem to have appealed to foreigners.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐70‐0]
        Girls arranging flowers

        Girls arranging flowers

        A photograph of young women engaged in flower arrangement. Judging from the fusuma sliding doors and scroll hanging on the wall this was likely taken inside. The colouring added to the kimonos, sash, rabbit-ear iris and red flowers is nothing but artless.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number83‐19‐0]

          Parents and children

          A girl and two women pose for a portrait. Both of the women wear kimono and haori jackets and have their hair in classical Japanese style. The woman sitting on the chair to the right is wearing a striped kasuri kimono. The girl wears a short coat with five big buttons and white knee-high socks. The background was designed to give depth to the photograph. A stuffed dog has been placed in front of them to provide atmosphere.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐77‐0]
            A family celebrating their child

            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]

              Girls dressed up gaily

              Five young women stand dressed up in front of the front gate. Two stand and the other three sit on a long chair. The location is outdoors, but it probably is a set in a studio. It may be a commemorative photo of the five.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number45‐30‐0]

                Ainu people

                Men are wearing the crowns used in religious rituals. The man standing in the centre is wearing a war coat over a cotton garment and a sword in a shoulder belt.

The woman is pouring the sake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hokkaido, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number60‐3‐0]

                  The approach to Kasuga Shrine and mideums

                  A sessha (sub-shrine), Wakamiya Shrine which is famous for its Onmatsuri festival, is located at southeast of Kasuga Taisha. This photo was taken at the shrine approach from the Nanmon Gate (South Gate) of Kasuga Taisha facing the northerly Wakamiya Shrine with Nanmon Gate in the background. Six standing mikos (shrine maidens) and one kneeling are seen in the approach. The photographer is the same person who took catalogue #4333 and the mikos are also the same.==Date:unknown, Place:Nara, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number87‐42‐0]

                    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. It is interesting that there is little difference from pictures taken of younger generations at present.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number25‐4‐0]

                      Children at a farming village

                      About 20 children stand looking at the camera, with a woman sitting with a baby. Many of the children have their kimono sleeves tucked up tasukigake style, and many baskets are placed in front. (The same as the picture numbered 25-1, but the right, upper and bottom parts have been trimmed).==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number25‐9‐0]
