A Toy Shop in Old Japan

Handcolored japanese albumen print from a tourists album of the early 20th century.

 

Doodle san will leave Japan

With several tons of cargo

Folks will stare, when all his ware

Is poured into Chicago

 

There's silk, cut velvet, old brocade

And everything thats "joto",

And ancient bronzes, newly made

For dealers in Kyoto
