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!
