new furniture and ornaments |
| text: |
In the houses of the wealthier people I noticed the appearance of some new items of furniture and equipment. Shoupa produced a table and chairs, electric torches were widespread, and enamel mugs had almost completely replaced the lovely bell-metal cups. In some houses I also found rice-huskers similar to a hand-mill, but even though these novel implements eased the work of husking rice, the traditional pounding tables were by no means out of use. |
