Bamboo groove at Gojozaka Slope

A girl in yukata (summer kimono) sits on a rickshaw. A man with a janome umbrella stands beside her. Bamboo fencing made of bamboo grass tied to bamboo poles prevents the bamboo from encroaching on the path. The path is narrow and rickshaws can barely pass each other. Taken prior to 1909, when the slope was expanded to a width of 7.2 meters.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐39‐0]

Making unbrellas

A scene of Japanese umbrellas drying. Japanese umbrellas were made by pasting Japanese paper on bamboo skeletons, coloring it and drawing designs and letters, and covering the surface with oil. These included janome (bull's eye design), bangasa (coarse oil-painted umbrella), daikokugasa etc. Demand was strong, as was the demand for repapering. and so there were at least one or more umbrella shops in each neighborhood.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number18‐46‐0]
