Actors in court-noble attire

Three people wear ori-eboshi hats. The man on the right wears an hitatare (bib), part of formal court dress. This is probably a coming-of-age rite for the boy in the middle. The man on the left holding a fan is probably the boy's father. Old photographs whisper many stories.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐31‐0]

A man in a court-noble attire

The man is wearing a kazeori-eboshi hat and formal court dress, although not full ikan-sokutai traditional court dress. The slightly superficial appearance suggests that the photograph was taken as a souvenir for foreigners.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R.

A Shinto priest

Sumo wrestling

This staged photograph of the mid-Meiji Period depicting sumo is included in the small Yokohama album (Tamamura Kozaburo). It appears to be the same improvised sumo ring as that in #2144. This photograph shows the shikiri (warm-up before a bout). It is odd that the umpire isn't wearing an eboshi hat.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐32‐0]
