Description
This original old photograph is in fair condition with some slight marks as well as fading and discoloration and shows a man and woman seated and posing on the engawa balcony of a traditional Japanese home. The photo appears to have been previously mounted in an album as there is some torn paper from the album stuck to the back of the photo. The photo dates from the early to mid 20th century and was acquired in the historic city of Shizuoka, Japan near the foot of Mt. Fuji.
