Cherry blossoms have always made beautiful backdrops for photos. 🌸 More than a century ago, three young women dressed in kimonos pose with parasols under a blooming cherry tree.
This photo (from sometime between 1860 and 1900) is in our @freersackler’s collection. It was included in an album produced by the studio of Tamamura Kozaburo (1880s–1900s), a successful commercial photography studio in Japan.
