A Maiko in Two Poses (1900)
“A trick photograph of a Maiko (Apprentice Geisha) in two different poses. On the left-hand side of the image she is seated on a Zabuton (floor cushion) with one arm leaning on a Kyosoku (arm rest) and the other holding a Kiseru (tobacco pipe) with a Tobako-bon (smoking box) on the floor in front of her, wearing a Michiyuki (coat with a square neckline). While on the right-hand side of the image she is dressed for an Odori (dance) in the traditional clothes of a Maiko, a Hikizuri (trailing kimono) and a Darari Obi (dangling sash).” (source)
