Three women and four children stand in front of a large water powered grist mill with a thatched roof.
Water powered mills of all sizes were extremely common in Japan, a mountainous country blessed with much rainfall.
This glass slide is one of a series of slides of Japan that was used by the New York State Education Department to teach students about Japan.

I have a small favor to ask
Old Photos of Japan aims to be your personal museum for Japan's visual heritage to increase our understanding of Japanese culture and society.
Finding, acquiring, scanning, restoring, researching and conserving these vintage images, and making the imagery and research freely available online, takes serious time, money and effort.
I do this without charging for access, selling user data, or running ads.
Your support helps to make this possible, and ensures that this important visual heritage of Japan will not be lost and forgotten.
If you can, please consider supporting Old Photos of Japan with a regular amount each month. Or become a volunteer.
Thank you,
Kjeld Duits
