Untitled 19th-20th century

This anonymous albumen print from the 19th-20th century depicts a traditional Japanese scene: a man pulling a rickshaw with a woman and two children. The woman holds an umbrella, and the children are dressed in fine clothing, hinting at their status. The image captures a moment in everyday life during Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912) and offers a glimpse into the country's cultural transition as it embraced Western technology while retaining traditional customs.
