Minatogawa Shrine

Minatogawa Shrine

The main gate of Minatogawa Shinto Shrine seen from what is now Kobe Station, the starting point of the Tokaido Line in Chuo Ward. Probably taken in the mid-Meiji Period. The theater on the right is Daikoku-za, renovated in 1890. An ultra-modern lamp is installed at the front. This area was formerly an entertainment quarter bristling with shacks for plays, musume gidayu, acrobats, restaurants and so on.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:A.

Geikos presenting a performance

The two women seem to be imitating a musume-gidayu or female ballad-drama. A rice box is used as a lectern. The woman on the left is wearing a towel in comical style, while the woman on the right is pretending to play the shamisen lute with a broom and wooden rice scoop. Their elaborate attire probably elicited great laughter.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐10‐0]
