Women on a leisure boat

The kawabune (river boat) was a means of river transportation. The roofed boats were used as pleasure boats providing entertainment. A person is playing a shamisen lute on the roof, advertising the fact that this kind of entertainment was offered inside the boat.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R.

            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]

              Four men and women face each other and thresh wheat with poles. The use of a thresher is not sufficient for threshing, so this process is necessary.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number29‐17‐0]

                      The Tamadare Falls,Yumoto Spa

                      This photo was taken with almost the same angle as catalogue #2956, and thus, it was probably taken at the same time. One man is in the fall whereas four women are wearing yukata summer kimono looking at the cascade and cooling themselves. Since the way they are is unnatural, they may have been posed for the photograph. This was taken after 1891 when this waterfall area was made to be Takinomae Park.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐45‐0]
