Tea picking

This photo captures women picking tea leaves at a tea farm in Uji. It is reported that Uji tea started when the Emperor Gosaga visited here in the mid thirteenth century and opened Komatsu and Kohata Nishiura Tea Garden. In those days the tea for exporting purposes has increased. Consequently the tea union and the tea processing companies were established by the instruction of Kyoto Prefecture and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. Due to the efforts, the quality improvement and production increase were made. This could have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting in 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Uji, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐22‐0]

    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]

              A waiting maid serving tea to the lady

              A maid is offering a cup of tea to a lady in formal attire. The lady is wearing a kimono with her family crest on the left and right sleeves and the back, and her hair is arranged in the shimada style. Maids usually wore short-sleeved kimono, but this woman is wearing a long-sleeved furisode and women's culottes. This may be the result of a mistake by the photographer. The layout of the alcove where a scroll is hanging and the setting of the floor with carpet-like mattresses are also odd.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R.
