Women in Okano Garden

Women in Okano Garden

The abundant use of rocks indicates the size of the garden. The ropes supporting the branches to prevent them from breaking indicate that it is late autumn or winter. The exact location of Okano Garden is not known, but a Japanese sweet shop named Okano at Negishi is famous for its Kogome-Daifuku (rice cakes stuffed with sweet beans). There may be some relationship between the two.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number85‐38‐0]

    Rice planting

    Rice planting

    Farmers are busy planting rice in flooded paddies near Kyoto. They are barefoot and wearing short kimonos because of the water. The women have their heads covered with hand towels, and the men wear straw hats to protect themselves from the sun. The mountains indicate that the location is either Kameoka, Yamashina, or Minami-Yoshiro. This may have been taken by the British photographer H.G. Ponting.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐23‐0]
      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]

          Women picking flowers

          The same garden as the photo numbered 45-9. There is a well when entering from the door made of branches, and of the two young girls of the three women in the photo numbered 45-9, one cuts a flower with scissors, and another stands to her back. It is probably an intentional portrait of the quiet manner of Japanese women. See photo numbered 45-18.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number45‐10‐0]

            Harvesting rice

            A farming family is placing harvested bundles of rice onto a draft horse. The man with a head towel may be the father, the woman standing his daughter, the woman stooping down to tie rice bundles may be the grandmother, and the woman on the left may be the mother. Bird rattles hang from poles in the rice paddy. The season is autumn, but the location is unknown. Probably taken in the Meiji Period.==Date:Middle Meiji (1883-1897), Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐79‐0]

The location is the garden of the farm house. The threshed rice is drying on mats spread on the ground. Firewood is piled up in the warehouse in the background. The time is Meiji, but the location is unknown.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐23‐0]

                  Girls taking a walk in a garden

                  The location is unknown, but is looks like a garden of a residence. Three dressed up women have just entered the door made of branches. The woman in the center holds the hem of kimono with her left hand, so she is probably a geisha.
