Back in the good old days, the Koreans were ALMOST as superstitions as the Japanese ! That's alright, just keep praying to your Idols, and don't worry about the Christian Missionaries who hypocritically insist on using a WESTERN CALENDAR whose MONTHS of the Year and DAYS of the Week are all named after PAGAN EUROPEAN GODS !!! These same missionaries also want you to become Christian so they may introduce you to the eternal happiness of Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, and the Easter Bunny. Did I say EASTER, the Pagan Holiday of Sex and Fertility ? I always knew there was something I liked about that Holiday ! I guess Easter Eggs are Christian, too. After all, the New Testament Book of 2nd Hezekiah tells us that the baby chick breaking out of the colored eggs symbolizes Christ coming out of the tomb and conquering death. WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY ? The nation of Korea has NOW become the most "Protestant" Christian Nation in all of Asia ? (The Philippines already has the award for being the most "Catholic" Christian nation in Asia). Wow ! Yes, Virginia...there IS a Santa Clause ! Now, where did I put my lucky American Rabbit's Foot , and my Irish four-leaf clover ? ************************************ Flickr poster WOLFGANGKLANG has commented on the above : "......Regarding your pic: 100 years later. Now KOREAN missionaries are everywhere in the world. Especially in critical countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ethiopia and so on. I guess those things are Sowing and harvesting !......."

This photo is from a collection of 9,391 images titled 'World Travel' by British photographer James Dearden Holmes (1873-1937). Holmes travelled the world for three years and his trip has been dated from immigration records to 1925-1927. All of the images were taken with a stereoscopic camera and most of the photos from this world trip are not available anywhere else. Holmes travelled extensively across Asia and the Americas on this trip so if there are any particular places you are interested in seeing please get in touch with any questions or requests. PROCESS: These prints are created from the scanned stereoscopic negatives and we have done very little editing on them so they are like the original photos from almost 100 years ago. Please be aware that the image in the listing photo, including any imperfections or lack of focus, will be the image you receive. PAPER: We use Epson Premium Semigloss Photo Paper 251 g/m2) INK: We use archival Epson inks. All photos should be displayed out of direct sunlight to preserve them.

There will be no white borders if you select a matted or matted and framed option. The watermark will not appear in your final print. MOUNTING AND FRAMING OPTIONS: We offer two matte colour options – Antique White and Black We use archival matting methods so your photo will be held in place with photo corners and will not be fixed to either the matte or the backing board.

Before Europeans first arrived in Asia, China was one of the most advanced and powerful nations in the world. It was the most populous, was politically unified, and most importantly, it had mastered the art of agriculture. However, when Europeans first landed on Chinese shores, they found a nation that had revered to traditional culture and warfare. Industrialization was almost nonexistent. At the beginning of the 20th century, China was divided into sphere of influence with each powerful Western nation trying to exert as much control over it as possible. The Chinese resented foreigners control and expressed this at the beginning of the 20th century with the Boxer Rebellion. At the same time, the traditional government of China began to fail in the early years. The Chinese people, being resentful of foreigners and dissatisfied with inability of the present government to throw them out, initiated the Revolution of 1911, replacing the Chinese 2000 year old imperial system with the Republic of China headed by Sun Yat-sen.

I love the wild and free look of the young girl. Grandpa has a sword. The integration of the cultures was inevitable, and the approximate form of the Japanese Kimono has already been adopted. The main Photo and Comments about these fine folks are HERE : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2746187012/ My entire AINU Set (still only a few photos) is HERE : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/sets/72157607060944155/ Both the Okinawans and the Ainu have plenty of bones to pick with the current occupying over-lords who control things from their bureaucratic bunkers in Tokyo. It's not unlike the Native "Indians" of the Americas who have a pile of bones to pick with the Europeans who over-ran them. Although everybody seems to agree that there's no going back, that's no excuse for the way people have been treated by the usurpers and over-runners during the endless centuries of human expansion. When it comes to recognizing the existence of the Ainu, the modern Japanese have, until very recently, been complete and total idiots over the matter.

There is something truly beautiful and mysterious about old photographs. For me, they are an endless source of inspiration and intrigue. Needless to say, I've fallen in love with these dream-like images of Japan from 1886, documented by Italian photographer Adolfo Farsari (1841-1898). Fasari's work was highly regarded during his time, particularly for his hand-coloured portraits and landscapes like the ones I'm sharing with you today...
