Vintage 3D Stereoviews of Old Japan

japanese stereoview Okinawa Soba posted a fascinating flickr set of 3D stereoviews of old Japan.

Almos 60 of the stereoviews in this set were photographed by Japanese photographer T. ENAMI [His self-portrait in Japanese Armor is the face of my flickr Icon]. The rest are divided up mostly among works by HERBERT PONTING, HENRY STROHMEYER, AND JULIAN COCHRANE. A few other 3-D photographers from both Japan and abroad are also represented here.

Most of the views were taken during the years 1895 to 1910, with the majority taken ca.1898-1905.
