Life in Japan 1900s

Hand colored photos from Japan 1890 – 1905 seen on Ebay offer a glimpse into a completely different culture that is rarely seen in Japan today!

 Geisha Women posing for Hear no evil-See no evil-Speak no evil

Preening – perhaps lice removal

Raincoats of this type (made of straw) are also seen in North-East India.

Interesting to view cultural history through old photos!
