Photography album 19th-20th century

This album of 19th-20th century Japanese photographs from an anonymous photographer depicts two Buddhist priests standing in a garden setting. Both men are wearing traditional robes, and the priest on the right is holding a small, red bell. This album provides a glimpse into Japanese culture and religious practices during a period of significant change. The album, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers valuable historical and cultural insight into the visual culture of Japan in the late 19th and early 20th century.
