This an afternoon scene on a desolate wintry day in Suwa Park.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number107‐11‐0]

Rice planting

Farmers are busy planting rice in flooded paddies near Kyoto. They are barefoot and wearing short kimonos because of the water. The women have their heads covered with hand towels, and the men wear straw hats to protect themselves from the sun. The mountains indicate that the location is either Kameoka, Yamashina, or Minami-Yoshiro. 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 Number97‐23‐0]

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]

Dancing girls

Like #2497, this is a scene of dancing by two women, but the costume worn by the women in the former suggests the upper samurai class while the two women in this photograph are from the merchant class. The woman on the right is the leader, while the other woman wears a more subdued kimono.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐32‐0]

Women serving guests

The colouring is poor, especially that applied to the kimono of the woman on the right. The scroll on the wall and sliding doors indicate that this was taken inside. Since there is a gekkin (moon lute), the location may be a house in Nagasaki.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number89‐16‐0]
