Antique Japanese Meiji Mother Child Photograph Portrait Kimono Black White PH47
Antique Japanese Meiji Mother Child Photograph Portrait Kimono Black White PH47
Antique Japanese Mother and Child Portrait Photograph
This is an original antique Meiji Era black and white photograph of a mother/grandmother with a small boy child. They both wear formal kimono. The mother is seated on a decorative chair while the boy stands. The child's kimono is very elaborate which likely means this photo was taken during the Shichi-Go-San holiday where children aged 7, 5, and 3 are celebrated for their health and resilience, and also to hope for health in years to come. Even in modern Japan, Shichi-Go-San is a popular time to have children photographed. It comes adhered to a thick card.
