Japanese Woman O-Koto-San Goes to Sleep - Goodnight! (circa 1905) This evocative photograph captures the peaceful and serene moment as O-Koto-San, a traditional Japanese woman, prepares for bed. Dressed in a beautiful kimono adorned with intricate patterns, her long, flowing hair styled in an elegant updo, she lies on a traditional Japanese bed, covered by a quilted uvet and a silk kimono robe. The room is filled with the warmth of a lantern and the soft glow of a lamp, casting a gentle light over the scene. O-Koto-San's role in Japanese society during this time was that of a geisha, a highly skilled entertainer who provided companionship, music, and dance for her clients. Her traditional attire and hairstyle reflect the elegance and refinement expected of a geisha in the early 1900s. The bed, with its low mattress and headrest, is a testament to the Japanese emphasis on comfort and relaxation. The screen at the foot of the bed adds a sense of privacy and tranquility to the space. As the sun sets and the day comes to an end, O-Koto-San's peaceful slumber is a reminder of the simple pleasures and beauty of traditional Japanese life. This photograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the social position and role of women in Japanese society during this time, and the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to influence Japan today.
