A mosquito net and a couple

A mosquito net and a couple

A kaya (mosquito net) is attached to the four corners of a room to form a tent over the sleeping area. The word kaya is used as a haiku seasonal term and a poetic symbol of summer, but the mosquito net fell out of use in the 1960's. The trick is to lift the lower end slightly and enter quickly as demonstrated by the man in the photograph.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐110‐0]

                  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]
