| h/t Instapundit A courtesan washing her hair, fearsome samurai warriors and a mother tenderly watching her sleeping child are among the characters to feature in rare photographs of Edo-era Japan set to go on display in London for the first time this weekend. The pictures, which date from between 1863 and 1877, were taken by Felice Beato and are among the earliest examples of coloured photography ever produced. Beauty is truth |

| #1 As someone commented on Instapundit none of the Samuraii have topknots. Anyone know what that means? |
