Ohanna (Japanese woman) portrait, circa 1872
Black-and-white photograph with an inscription representing three-quarters of a Japanese woman standing, holding a parasol. Photographed by a plain wall with a carved molding along the floor.
A Japanese geisha, Ohanna or Ohana, stands on a European carpet against a plan backdrop with a narrow carved molding close to the floor. She wears a striped silk kimono with five 'mon' [family crests], a striped obi [sash], geta [wooden sandals] without tabi, and carries an umbrella over her left shoulder. The wooden stand to keep her in place for the photo can be seen next to her feet. | Inscription: "Ohanna" in ink in block letters by Charles Longfellow. (On image.) | Notes: In his journals Charles Longfellow mentions that Ohanna is a geisha.
