A geiko playing the shamisen

A geiko playing the shamisen

The kimono looks shabby for a geisha at a flower viewing banquet. It is unnatural to place a flower pot directly on the tatami mat of the guest room. The flowers in the pot and vase suggest spring.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐18‐0]

            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]

The reed screen and fan exude a feeling of summer.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐11‐0]
