Life During the Edo Period...

One of my favorite sections of the Edo-Tokyo Museum depicted everyday life during the Edo Period. Here is a carpenter...

 ...and a midwife washing a newborn baby.

Here is a classroom in the teacher’s house. The students needed to provide their own books and desks, which would stacked in a corner after class.

This is a depiction of how wood cut prints were made...

...and the shop that sold the end results. 

And, this was a Geisha and some others going to a Kabuki show.
