THE ICE CREAM VENDOR -- City Kids on a Summer Day in Japan

Ca.1898 photograph by T. ENAMI of Yokohama. Notice the English / Japanese signs on the left advertising ice cream in this candid street scene of babysitting kids. This picture is 110 years old -- it shows you how long the Japanese have been enjoying this Western treat. www.t-enami.org/
