飲食品ノ二

Food and Drink, Part 2

1914 (Taisho era)

In glass cases hung with white flower decorations, boxes with their lids open stand at an angle. The description on the facing page mentions only sweets.

About this photo

Thin bars in the glass doors divide the front of the cases into vertical strips. On the left shelves, boxes lean at a slant, tier after tier; in the middle stands a small table with legs, and on the low step in front, more boxes continue in a row. Up high, two large white flower decorations float against the dark interior.

The description on the facing page names sweets as the goods in this display. It says they were sold mostly within the prefecture, but were of good quality, and that some of the neri-yokan (firm red bean jelly) and similar sweets were outstanding. In the foreword's list of the prefecture's exhibits, too, sweets appear alongside rice, sake and soy sauce.
