Légende

Street sketches in Tokio, Japan: charcoal carriers, 1890. 'The city of Tokio, formerly called Yedo,...has three quarters of a million inhabitants...Our Illustrations, furnished by an amateur photographer, Mr. Chas. J. S. Makin, show street life, the figures and costumes of different industrial classes, who are met everywhere in the throng of city folk...For heavier articles and merchandise, a cart or barrow, pushed by coolies, is used. Horses are rarely employed for this purpose. The "yarea," or basket-seller, is frequently seen in the streets, pushing a small cart before him, with his stock of bamboo baskets of all shapes and sizes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
