Shamisen practice

Shamisen practice

Women pose in kimono. They have a vacant expression on their faces, perhaps because of the superstition that photographs steal the soul. The woman in front is playing a shamisen lute, while the woman on the right is reading a book. A set of tea cups are on the tatami, and a bamboo basket on the pillar. The setting was likely planned by the photographer.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐35‐0]

Students in a private school

Students in a private school

Carried on page 157 of the October 19, 1872 edition of The Far East. According to the explanation, these are students of the samurai class from Numazu studying English grammar. They believed in the superstition that death would result if a picture were taken, so one of the students in the photo came to see the photographer at his hotel afterwards to ask if the negative could be discarded.==Date:unknown, Place:Numazu, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number17‐42‐0]
