Japanese Old Photographs of the Bakumatsu-Meiji Periods

Last mentioned in the July 30th, 1999 Scout Report, the current database represents a redesign and standards upgrade of the inherited data. The collection now includes approximately 6,000 hand-colored photographs, taken at various locations all over Japan, during the Bakumatsu-Meiji period, 1860 - 1920. In addition to searching by photographer, category, keyword, or location, it is now possible to browse by a variety of categories from making tea or housekeeping, to scenic spot or battlefield. In addition, from the full record display, visitors can link to related images. For example, the photo "Girls having a meal", dated 1880-1905, shows two young women wearing the long-sleeved kimonos of unmarried women, seated with a maid for a meal. Related photographs retrieved are additional views of groups of young women, dining, with cups, bowls, platters, and teapots.
