Do you have an avid interest in Japanese culture? Got $1,500 to spare? Then pop on over to Ebay and buy yourself the 50 Large Hand Colored Images from the Meiji period of Japan in a beautiful, Lacquered Album.

The fastest industrialisation in the history of civilisation was to take place in the 50 years after these photos were taken. The past looks like a great place to be. These photos really bring into focus just how much Japan was thust into the modern world. Click the pics for more...

Thanks BoingBoing!
