Summary

Description

Collection: Willard Dickerman Straight and Early U.S.-Korea Diplomatic Relations, Cornell University Library

Title: Women going out

Date: ca. 1904

Place: Asia: North Korea; Pyongyang

Type: Postcards/Ephemera

Description: The inscription imprinted on the postcard in Japanese characters indicates an outing of 'Pyongyang' women. The big objects over women's heads were used to hide their face and to protect from sunshine or rain. This is number three of a series of Japanese postcards on Korean customs. On the 'objects' worn on the head, W.R. Carles comments that 'There seemed to be a passion among the poor people for enormous hats, but those of the women were gigantic, and required both hands to keep them in position.'
