Glamor photo of American actress Mary William Ethelbert Appleton “Billie” Burke (1884–1970) in Japanese clothing, ca. 1907 (Meiji 40).

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, it was very popular for Westerners to have themselves photographed in Japanese clothing and there were countless postcards of Western performers and models dressed in kimono or kimono-like clothing.
