JAPAN.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

A Day's Life of the Japanese Girls. An attractive tourist souvenir, produced at a time of growing tensions between the old and the new, showing high-status women in traditional clothing and settings smoking, getting ready, eating, relaxing, and travelling in rickshaws. We have located a single copy at the University of Idaho.This album follows the style of those published by the photographic studios of Takagi Teijiro (born c.1875) and Ogawa Kazumasa (1860-1929), and may well be one of their unattributed productions.
