this site has some lovely photos of old japan, but you can neither upload them or link directly into the site. only into its doorway. three of my favorites are mt fuji in 1890, and a hand-colored one from the same year of a man in a straw raincoat. i also liked the lotuses!

Oiran courtesan
::
"The highest-ranking geisha is called an oiran or tayu. She is escorted by two little attendant girls called kamuro. Notice her high clogs. It takes some skill to walk in those and she usually requires someone's shoulder to hold onto while walking. Sometimes at festivals or special events, you can see the Oiran Dochu procession where she walks in a parade together with geisha attendants. It is quite a spectacle."
a fascinating discussion follows this image
