A Morning Cup in a Snowy Landscape (Shoko Saiki)

A quiet cafe scene. Hikami Hotel staff member Shoko Saiki, in her 20s, looks great in her uniform. She was photographed wearing her waitress uniform, sitting by a window in a deserted coffee corner on a bitterly cold winter morning in the Nara Basin. Hikami Hotel Wait Staff Uniform: This uniform is based on the apron dress worn by British housemaids when the hotel was first established in the late 19th century. The dress is made up of a thin, stunning fit black dress with a white collar and cuffs, flared hem with white ruffle and a white frilly apron with a breastplate that holds up the bust. It's styled with a white brim, black tights fastened with garter belts, and high-heeled pumps. Scene: Inside the hotel cafe. Outside the window, a snowy landscape is visible. She is seated, sipping a steaming cup of coffee. Style: Actual photograph, not illustration, neutral realism.
