| A senior geisha serves a meal to younger geishas who are sitting in front of the alcove, traditionally the seat reserved for a guest or older people. The subtitle reads "The Correct Serving of a Japanese Meal." This is obviously a staged photograph for foreigners. Although they were odd to Japanese people, scenes such as this seem to have appealed to foreigners. |
