Random Japanese Snapshots 8

 

Time to finish up this small collection.  To recap, I bought a small envelope of photos from an eBay seller in Japan.  Do they all come from the same source, or are they just a bunch of random snapshots packaged together?  Anyway, I didn't see any people showing up in multiple images, so I'm going with random.  This is the one thing I keep wondering.  How many of these photos were taken before the war, and how many after.   Considering how many Japanese citizens died in the war, it's likely that at least some of the pre-war photos show people who were dead within four or five years.  And a lot of people in these photos are pretty young.  The bottom photo in the column is of schoolgirls.

This is probably the penultimate post from this collection.   To recap, I bought an envelope of snapshots from an eBay seller in Japan.  I have no idea if the photos are from the same source, or if the seller just threw a bunch of random snapshots together into a single lot.  Anyway, click on Random Japanese Snapshots Collection in labels to see the rest.

Despite money being tight right now, I recently purchased an envelope of random Japanese snapshots.  Well, I don't know that for sure.  For all I know they all come from the same family which makes them far less random.  Anyway, I have a couple with some writing on the back.  They'll be published with a scan of the back that, with any luck, someone can translate for me, or at the very least tell me if they're upside down.  Some will be posted in lots of three, but I'm starting with a one-off of this group shot in the snow.  I'm thinking class photo considering the institutional-type building in the background.  Eventually, when I get around to putting more up, click on Random Japanese Snapshots Collection in labels to bring everything up.
