Scene from "Fair Japan"

Pan-American Exposition--(1901:Buffalo, N.Y.)--Photographs

Exterior views

There are five Japanese subjects in traditional dress pulling a women through the streets. Two of the subjects carry fans to give the appearance of light and possibly denote temperature.

A group of people in traditional clothing are gathered around a rickshaw in a setting labeled as the Japanese Village. One person sits in the rickshaw while others stand beside it, and a person wearing a jacket with “Fair Japan” on the back stands in front. Decorative masks hang on the wall of a nearby building, and a sign reading “Japan” is visible overhead.
