On January 17th, 1920, when Prohibition became the law of the land, a new kind of woman was born; a woman who drank, smoked, and (gasp!) danced with members of the opposite sex in illegal watering holes known forever as “speakeasies.” No one, man or woman, described these

If there is one photographer known for editorials that evoke a luxurious trip to an exotic location such as India or Morocco, and with a suitcase full of exquisite clothes ideal for the occasion, it’s Norman Parkinson.

I love the wild and free look of the young girl. Grandpa has a sword. The integration of the cultures was inevitable, and the approximate form of the Japanese Kimono has already been adopted. The main Photo and Comments about these fine folks are HERE : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2746187012/ My entire AINU Set (still only a few photos) is HERE : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/sets/72157607060944155/ Both the Okinawans and the Ainu have plenty of bones to pick with the current occupying over-lords who control things from their bureaucratic bunkers in Tokyo. It's not unlike the Native "Indians" of the Americas who have a pile of bones to pick with the Europeans who over-ran them. Although everybody seems to agree that there's no going back, that's no excuse for the way people have been treated by the usurpers and over-runners during the endless centuries of human expansion. When it comes to recognizing the existence of the Ainu, the modern Japanese have, until very recently, been complete and total idiots over the matter.

While the man in this 1920s photograph already wears a modern outfit, the woman is still dressed in a german traditional costume. I am not an expert in traditional costumes but I think her costume comes from the Bückeburg area in Northern Germany.
