Yokohama's Memory Vol.3 is available.
[Children in Yokohama] I picked up images with the theme.

Margaret-Rose, an American who came to Japan shortly after the opening of the port and spent a long time in Yokohama, wrote in his book, "The Ancient Japanese Beetball" (Yurindo, 1992), as well as customs such as carp streamers and Hinamatsuri, as well as feathers and kite flying. I'm also looking at children's play. "The boys sing" Wind blow, kites are longing," but the girls sing "Wind quietly, don't blow the wings." ", And Japan says, "It's very comfortable to live. "

Wagman, known as the author of the satirical manga magazine The Japan Punch, is a correspondent of The Illustrated London News, sketching and sending a report on this New Year's landscape in Yokohama.

How did the Japanese observe the foreign children of the Japanese children who become the hands of foreigners? The painters who were journalists at the time drew the children who were turning around in Yokohama Ukiyo-e, and also wrote in the guidebook "Yokohama Kai Port Observation Magazine", which represents the opening period, "The first of the children's play, the second figure of children's play, and in the text, children and their voices do not play without any country.

In Vol.3, from the "Yokohama Photography" taken for the purpose of introducing Japan, one pose of a nanny parasol, and W.M.Strachan & Co., a British trading company as a symbol of Yokohama, a base for overseas trade. I've chosen a trademark.

In addition, we will deliver illustrations depicting the children playing, Yokohama postcards depicting children gathering in Kamonyama Park, and the children affected by the Great Kanto Earthquake.
