A woman in her night clothes

This photograph, which appeared in the album JAPAN THROUGH THE STEREOSCOPE published by Underwood & Underwood, was taken sometime between 1887 and 1907. The caption on the back reads: Girl sleeping between wadded futons with head on a wooden support - Teahouse, Hikone. The sleeping young woman, futon, wooden support for the head to protect the hairstyle, tobacco tray, tea tray, and andon light attracted the interest of Westerners.==Date:1904, Place:Hikone, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐48‐0]

                  A mother and a girl

                  The mother wears her hair in modern hisashi-gami style, while her daughter wears a hat and apron. The costume is evocative of the mid-Meiji Period. This is a studio photograph. The hisashi-gami replaced the traditional nihon-gami and became a typical hairstyle for young women who wore maroon-coloured hakama skirts.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number72‐190‐0]

                      A woman lifts her kimono to go up to the tea room, and another woman welcomes her by placing her hands together in front of her knees.
