Kobe, 1906. Girls play hanetsuki (羽根突き) (battledore and shuttlecock) in front of their home, one of the traditional games played during the New Year celebrations. There are two ways to play the: one person keeps the shuttlecock aloft as long as possible, or two people batting it at each other. This image is part of The New Year in Japan, a book published by Kobe-based photographer Kozaburo Tamamura in 1906.
