The image, taken at the height of the Meiji Restoration period, offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of Japan that were showcased at the exhibition. The photograph features a group of Japanese dignitaries and courtiers, dressed in their formal attire, gathered around an ornate tea table. The elegance and refinement of their clothing, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the Japanese people.
