‎Japan, Women Samurai‎

‎Late Edo Period Women's Educational Handbook Featuring Women Samurai on Horseback‎

‎1800. Japan Women's Education Woman Samurai An original oraímono Women’s Educational Handbook including a rare glimpse at women samurai. Late Edo period. Japan. Woodblock-printed oraimono handbook with ukiyo-e–style illustrations and calligraphic instructional text on cloth pages typical of the era. This book designed for the education of young women combines lessons in etiquette poetry calligraphy and moral refinement reflecting the ideals of cultured femininity central to Edo-period household training. Works such as this were widely circulated through temple schools and private tutors serving as foundational manuals for girls of samurai merchant and artisan families. The text is written in flowing kuzushiji script characteristic of women’s education materials emphasizing grace discipline and literacy as markers of proper upbringing.<br /> <br /> The volume is richly illustrated with ukiyo-e woodcuts including domestic scenes interior instructional settings and most strikingly women samurai on horseback depicted mid-gallop with armor elements and stylized movement lines. These images stand out as unusual within oraimono which typically foreground sedentary or domesticized scenes; here the inclusion of mounted women warriors evokes legendary onna-bugeisha such as Tomoe Gozen and serves as a visual metaphor for courage and discipline within the moral curriculum. Other illustrations depict refined female figures practicing calligraphy serving tea or receiving instruction each reinforcing Edo expectations that a cultured woman embody poise literary sensitivity and obedience. Together the visual and textual components offer rare insight into the gendered pedagogy of the era where conduct training literary fluency and aesthetic cultivation were interlinked. Such oraimono survive only irregularly as they were heavily used often by multiple generations and printed on fragile mulberry paper. Cloth is toned and fragile but density of material has kept pages intact water staining affecting softening of some text and illustrations; binding is sound. Overall good condition. A rare surviving women’s oraimono combining literary instruction etiquette training and uncommon imagery of women warriors. unknown‎

R A R E The photographs are of high quality skillfully composed the photographer is unknown likely the work of Kimbei or his school. The portraits are posed some in a studio others in Japanese homes. True to the times in which these girls and ladies lived during the Meiji 1868-1912 they all wear the stunning and traditional elaborate Kimono with matching coiffeurs with hair pins and other accessories. The Kimono reflect the season some show winter type with heavy over wear others for warmer seasons. Images are: Three Japanese girls and a rickshaw puller: two ride-one with umbrella the other stands nearby. A Japanese woman wears an elaborate Kimono & sits on Tatami mats holding a "Tama" or thread ball. Young girl stands with umbrella.

What is additionally wonderful about these delicate photographs are the expressions on the women's faces. Some show a stoic or "inscrutable look" others reveal a bewildered look as they are posing for the difficult to understand camera and photographer. All reflect an earlier period of Japanese innocence and awe in the unusual use of the latest mode of "high technology" while posing. A nice lot !

‎Jarratt, Melynda‎

‎War Brides: The Stories of the Women Who Left Everything Behind to Follow the Men They Loved‎

‎For thousands of young British girls, the influx of Canadian soldiers conscripted to Britain during the Second World War meant throngs of handsome young men. The result was over 48,000 marriages to Canadian soldiers alone, and a mass emigration of British women to North America and around the world in the 1940's. For many brides, the decision to leave their family and home to move to a country thousands of miles away with a man they hardly knew brought forth ensuing happiness. For others, the outcome was much different, and the darker side of the story reveals the infidelity, domestic violence, poverty, alcoholism and divorce that many lived through. War Brides draws on original archival documents, personal correspondence, and key first hand accounts to tell the amazing story of the War Brides in their own words-and shows the love, passion, tragedy and spirit of adventure of thousand of British women. 288p. plates bibliography index Book‎
