This is a scene of harvesting. A man pounds rice with a vertical pestle in a wooden mill. The rice hulls are removed to make brown rice which is then passed through a winnowing device to remove foreign objects. The woman is creating air flow to blow away the foreign objects.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number84‐5‐0]

A scene of threshing

Four women and men take turns striking grains with a tool called a donji to remove husks. After this, a winnowing basket is used to remove foreign particles, and the hulled grains are packed in straw bags. A container is visible under the basket. A mat is hanging behind to prevent grains from scattering.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐75‐0]
