Barber Asada

20130213201748_02 1953 japan kokura vintage slides barber asada

Japan 1953 (likely Kokura 小倉市)

Today’s photo comes from my father’s slides from around 1953 Japan. Why post this today? Well, today is my dad’s birthday. If he were still alive, he’d be 95 years old today.

I converted these images from slides to digital about 12 years ago, shortly before he died. I showed them to him, but he couldn’t identify the people, places, or years anymore. Why did he take this photo? No idea–maybe that was his barber? Or the lumber was unusual? Or…?
