Girls dancing to the shamisen

Girls dancing to the shamisen

A full moon over a eulalia field is painted on a three panel byobu screen. The season is autumn. When a dancer pulls up the sleeves with a cord or doffs the upper half of the kimono, the music is probably a lively melody such as haiya or kappore. The dancers are posing.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:F. Beato, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐12‐0]

          Tea picking

          Women are picking tea leaves. They have cloths on their heads and their sleeves pulled up with cords. The kimono and sashes suggest that they are daughters of well-to-do-families working as apprentices. Each woman is picking randomly, and there are no furrows in the field. It is likely not a real setting.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐100‐0]

                Two women hold shamisen (three-stringed lutes) while another woman holds a song book. This seems to be a scene from a regular practice session. The hairstyles with kanzashi (hairpins) and the look of the kimono collars suggest that the women are professionals.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐43‐0]

                  A woman stands with a shamisen lute, wearing a long-sleeved kimono. The sash is tied loosely. Floral hair pins decorate her hair.

                    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]
