    Three thousand ryo a day falls where it must. This senryu poem means that everyday people spend three thousand ryo (monetary unit in the Edo Period), one thousand in the fish market in the morning, one thousand in the theatres during the daytime, and one thousand in the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter in the evening. There was a fish market on the east side of the northern edge of Nihonbashi Bridge during the Edo Period. The man in this photograph is selling fish he just bought at the fish market. Probably taken near Nihonbashi. Since there was no refrigeration then, fish had to be sold within a day and people ate fresher fish than today. This stereograph is dated 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐77‐0]

            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]

                    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]
