Ainu people in formal attire. 1900s Japan, public domain image.
Summary
Photograph shows five men and a woman sitting outside a thatch hut. Four of the men are sitting on a mat around a bowl on a tray, they are wearing ceremonial dress, and three are holding small bowls before them; the woman with pot and ladle and the other man sit in the background. A long bamboo pole spans the main area; there are quivers and swords hanging from it, and possibly a bow leaning against it. A man looks out the window in the hut and another person is barely visible through the door in the background.
