Young Women Reading Books at New Year, 1880 - 1920
About the object
Two young women wearing warm winter kimonos are captured sitting in a studio setting. They are depicted with books and with decorated battledores placed in front of them, the latter a game played at New Year. In the background, we can see a painting of snow-clad Mount Fuji, further emphasising the wintry theme of the photograph.
