Important notes:
To the best of our knowledge the photographic image offered with this listing is
an original print and not a later duplication. Age estimates as well as
descriptions of the people and events occurring in the image are based on
available information such as settings and activities depicted in the image as
well as our experience with Japanese culture. All photographs purchased
from us are carefully sealed in plastic and shipped in a box instead of an
envelope to prevent damage during transit.
Many of the photographs we list are uploaded to our Japan Vintage
Photo Blog which is an on-line gallery of unique and interesting images
of old Japan. The purpose of this blog is strictly to share some of the
wonderful photographs we encounter in the course of our work, and to provide a
digital archive to preserve these images into the future. If you purchase
a photograph from us and do not wish to have a digital copy of your image displayed in
the photo blog or archive then please simply send us an email indicating your preference
and we will promptly remove the image.
