A woman looking at a picture book

A long box heater, copper medicine can and a tea set are visible. A shamisen lute and photograph books are scattered about on the tatami mats. The young woman is wearing a dark chirimen crepe coat and her hair is wrapped in a red cloth. She still has tucked-in kimono shoulders (to be let out when she gets taller) and a baby face.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R.

A girl with hair ornaments

The woman has her hair arranged in warikarako style (like marumage for married women), with floral hairpins, kogai pins and karako-chirimen crepe on the head. She is wearing a furisode kimono, and the collar of her undergarment is revealed to a considerable degree.
