110609-0006 - Harvesting Rice

Rice cultivation in Japan: Harvesting rice. This image comes from “The Rice in Japan,” published in 1907 (Meiji 40) by Kobe based photographer Teijiro Takagi. We have found a similar photo marked with the location of Futaba, Kobe.

Original text: “The harvest commences early in November if fine weather has resulted in fully ripening the crops. The ear at first is of a flesh colour, ripening into a rich brown tint.”
