Drie Japanse vrouwen maken muziek c. 1890 - 1895

This black and white photograph titled "Drie Japanse vrouwen maken muziek" was taken by Japanese photographer Kazumasa Ogawa between 1890 and 1895. The image shows three women in traditional Japanese clothing performing music. The woman in the center plays a shamisen, a three-stringed instrument, while the woman on the right plays a koto, a long, zither-like instrument. The photograph offers a glimpse into the musical practices of Japan during the late 19th century and highlights Ogawa's skill in capturing everyday life through his lens.
