This is an antique Japanese photo glass negative plate showing people gathered inside in a big room or hall.

Bowls of rice and small individual plates containing food are placed on the tables, as well as a bigger bamboo dish containing rice. This scene is before a group meal. Japanese characters are decorating the room and they are other details to discover in this photo. This negative plate is a testimony of the community life in Japan in the 1900s.
