Japanese musicans playing traditional instruments
Japanese musicians playing on traditional instruments – the samisen, fuye, taiko, and tsuzumi; c. 1910×1920. Photographer unknown. From the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, LOC #LC-D41-26

This is a posed photograph from c. 1910×1920. I love how composed these women look. This photo was taken by an unknown photographer for the Detroit Publishing Company. The collection of the DPC is now the property of the Library of Congress, whose information on the collection says:

This collection of photographs from the Detroit Publishing Company Collection includes over 25,000 glass negatives and transparencies as well as about 300 color photolithograph prints, mostly of the eastern United States. Subjects strongly represented in the collection include city and town views, including streets and architecture; parks and gardens; recreation; and industrial and work scenes. [From the LOC website
You can read more about the collection at the Library of Congress’ website, where there is an article on the Detroit Publishing Co. Click on the image to see it and download it full-sized.
