BOYS LEARN THE WAY OF THE LOOM AT AN INDUSTRAIL ARTS SCHOOL in OLD CHINA

            If this was Japan, they would all be girls in the Photo.  However, being a weaver was an honorable trade, and some great works of tapestry and embroidered art came from the hands of both sexes.

Although I do not have photos of Japanese men at a standard loom, I do have a few photos of ALL BOYS working on embroidery projects.

In any case, the above photo was interesting to me, so I stuck it up here. 

*******************************************

The above image is from a group of original 1895-1935 glass lantern slides depicting scenes and people in pre-WW2 China. The coloring is not mine. They were tinted by hand using fine brushes at the time the slides were made. With only a few exceptions, the size of the slides is 3 1/4 inches x 4 inches, with the centered image being smaller depending on the size of the border matte. I have cropped away the matte for most of these flickr posts. Enjoy....
