A geiko playing the shamisen

The kimono looks shabby for a geisha at a flower viewing banquet. It is unnatural to place a flower pot directly on the tatami mat of the guest room. The flowers in the pot and vase suggest spring.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐18‐0]

A woman playing the shamisen

The woman is dressed in the style of a nagashi musician. The nagashi was a street performer who wandered around the city singing for customers. Therefore, it is unnatural that she is in a room while dressed in nagashi style.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R.

Soldiers in armour

The men are wearing the armour of the time. It includes the torso protector, a throwback to older times. The armour consists of a helmet and protectors for the shoulders, upper arms, arms, thighs, mouth, jaw, and throat. However, the footwear of the man on the right is unnatural because he should be wearing socks made from deer skin or wood.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number76‐28‐0]

E

Ainu men

The clothing of the man on the left looks unnatural, especially the right elbow area (including designs). Later tinting may have caused this unnatural appearance. As for the man on the right as well, it is impossible to see what is hanging from his waist. They all wear gaiters. The wooden doors (wall) are the same as those in photograph #4064.==Date:unknown, Place:Hokkaido, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number76‐26‐0]

A woman reading a score for shamisen

A makeshift room. It is unnatural to hang a scroll on the wall like this. A woman is reading music with her elbow on the desk. This reflects bad manners, but she looks relaxed.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number76‐12‐0]

The Tamadare Falls,Yumoto Spa

This photo was taken with almost the same angle as catalogue #2956, and thus, it was probably taken at the same time. One man is in the fall whereas four women are wearing yukata summer kimono looking at the cascade and cooling themselves. Since the way they are is unnatural, they may have been posed for the photograph. This was taken after 1891 when this waterfall area was made to be Takinomae Park.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐45‐0]

A samurai warrior of old days

The caption reads Ancient Times Officer. This is a staged photograph of a Heian Period aristocrat wearing the ritual clothes of royalty. It is unnatural for a woman to be holding the sword. A single photograph. Photographer unknown.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐118‐0]

Girls greeting each other

Two women are exchanging greetings, looking at each other and speaking. The fact that tea is being served is reasonable, but it is unnatural to have a bonsai (potted plant) and arranged flowers on two sides with a tobacco tray in the centre.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐58‐0]

E

Girls

Two women wearing haori coats with floral designs pose with a bonsai plant on the floor by their feet. This is probably a studio photograph produced for foreigners. Both women are wearing something like aprons, but the colouring is unnatural.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number50‐4‐0]

E

Relaxing women

A brazier and an uchiwa (fan) contradict each other seasonally. The setting would be less unnatural without the teapot on the brazier. The teapot may be just for making tea. The woman behind the brazier holds a long tobacco pipe.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number49‐15‐0]

E

Women relaxing with tea and tobacco

Two women are relaxing together but are not engaged in a conversation. A byobu screen is standing next to the tokonoma (alcove) and a brazier is in front of them. The combination of a fan (for summer) and a tea kettle on a brazier (for winter) is rather unnatural.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐8‐0]

E

Merchant carrying goods on a pole

A traveling vendor smoking a pipe. The woman with an infant on her back could be his wife. She is there to see her husband off. But this is unnatural with a child sitting in the front basket of the balancing pole. The balancing pole is carried to the fore, so the basket to the back is probably very light.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Suzuki Shin-ichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number41‐49‐0]

E

Makeup

A woman does her makeup with the top half of her clothes off. Tools for makeup and tool box can be seen to the right. The size and direction of her face in the mirror is unnatural.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Suzuki Shin-ichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number41‐36‐0]

E

Women drawing water

Four women wait in line at the water well. They each hold a wooden pail and the three in the back have them on their heads. But this is unnatural and they looks as if they forcibly held the pail with both hands.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Suzuki Shin-ichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number41‐41‐0]

E

Lake Ashi

Ashino Lake and Mt. Fuji from the shore near the present Hakone Elementary School. To the right at the foot of the mountains is Hakone Shrine. It is a typical photo introducing Hakone. Three people are seen rowing a boat, but their position is rather unnatural and was probably assumed for the picture.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number31‐76‐0]

E

Houses of hakone

A photo taken in the direction of Mishimacho from Odawaracho, Hakone. The width of the road is rather narrow, taking into consideration the fact that it is the Tokaido, but the location can be judged from the shape of the mountains and houses in the background. The logs piled up could be a heap of products to be sold. The palanquin stands in an unnatural position.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number31‐7‐0]

Geisha standing on her head

A geiko does a handstand. She looks uneasy in this unnatural stance.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number29‐21‐0]

E

Girls standing hand in hand

A full portrait of three girls. The three are dressed up and wear sandals on bare feet. They are holding hands, but the girl in the centre is crossing hands in front of her and holding her left hand with the girl on the right, and holding her right hand with the girl on her left, so it looks unnatural.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:[R. Stillfried], (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number27‐26‐0]

Travellers in kago,a palanquin

The palanquin seen in this photo is a simple one called yamakago . The cedar trees in the background are probably those of Nikko or Hakone. The procession of palanquins is not on the road, creating an unnatural atmosphere. This was probably a dramatization for the photo.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number18‐16‐0]
