| A group of Maiko (Apprentice Geisha) standing on the riverbank. Maiko Momotaro is third from the left, facing Maiko Fumiryu. This postcard dates to the late 1910s or early 1920s |
The 1920s - 1940s are most interesting to me. There was the Roaring Twenties, Black Thursday, the Depression, Volstead Act, Women's History; the list goes on and on. I also find the Gregorian, Victorian, Edwardian era interesting as well. I hope you enjoy your visit!
