Description: Amazing tinted Albumen image c1880's Japan of boat (junk) transport of passengers across river or lake. Five women in kimonos and male passenger sitting on roof of boat shelter. The man in traditional clothing the back of which is covered in Japanese symbols and characters. Are they tribal or Feudal marks/symbols?
