Dancing women

Three young women dance to the music of the shamisen wearing hats adorned with flowers. Two wear striped kimonos and Japanese socks and the other wears sandals in the style of a yakko (valet). They all wear towels around the neck. The music may be Hanagasa Ondo. In the background are seen sake barrels, but this is a dramatized photograph taken outside.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number6‐35‐0]

Rowing women

People enjoy a boat ride. The two women on the left are wearing kimono of different colors with splashed patterns. The woman on the right has her hair in Shimada style with a red cloth in the bangs. This is a hairstyle called yakko shimada that was popular among young women aged 13 to 17. The size of the boat and setting suggest that this photograph was taken in a studio.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:A.
