    Workmen doing iron-pot work

    Potters tend the fire in a noborigama (climbing kiln) at the Kinkozan Sobei Kiln. Three men are checking the condition of the fire. The kiln is made from bricks and clay. It was located in Sanjo-Awataguchi and specialized in Awata style pottery. Founded in 1633, it exported ceramic ornaments and utensils to North America and Europe as well as China and India. 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 Number97‐30‐0]

      Five girls

      What a fashionable group of sisters! Their contemporary hairstyle might be due to practice in hairstyling by the eldest. It was considered shameful for a woman not to be able to arrange her own hair. The eldest sister may have just finished a rigorous lesson, leaving her siblings feeling relieved.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐23‐3]

              The same structure as the photo numbered 44-7, with a different model. It cannot be judged whether the model wanted her picture taken, or the photographer took pictures of many models in the Bijinga style (the styles on wood block printing of beautiful women).==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number44‐8‐0]

                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.
