加藤静代子（山口）
Kato Shizuyoko (Yamaguchi)
About this photo
With her kimono, she wears a Western-style hat with a brim. The hat is trimmed with white cloth. Over her light-colored kimono she wears something like a haori (a short jacket), and a round knot shows at her chest. The name under the photo reads "Kato Shizuyoko (Yamaguchi)." It is in Nihon Bijincho (Album of Japanese Beauties, 1908).
Japanese women began to wear hats around the time of the Rokumeikan, a hall for social gatherings that opened in Tokyo in 1883. At first hats were for women of upper-class families, worn with Western clothes. Hats edged with lace, bonnets, and small straw hats with feather decorations are said to have been common.
Hats began to be made in small numbers in Japan after 1878, and from around 1894 and 1895 hat making grew into a thriving business.
