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. Landscape octavo, ff. [13]. Original patterned cloth boards, brown silk musubi toji binding, spine ends capped with brown silk, gilt-flecked brown pastedowns and title page. With 12 hand-coloured collotypes. Binding still fresh, spine ends worn, plates clean and bright. A fine copy. Seller Inventory # 165426
