A very cheerful Japanese woman carrying three huge tawara (rice straw bags) filled with charcoal on what appears to be a lonely country road. c.1890.

Why mam I do believe your titty is hanging out.
I wonder at what point in a culture it becomes decided that ‘titty out’ is not acceptable?
At first I was like, is this r/ confusingperspective? But then I was like, nope, that is a titay.
Ah the land of Nip-pon
Def a breastfeeding mom. I’d wager she had the baby wrapped to her chest right before this shot.
This comment section has convinced me Reddit consist solely of 14 year old boys.
That lady’s strong
Truly anything pre 1950 with a titty or two out gets front page on this sub
This sub has basically become
r/oldschoolboobs.
*EDIT: So apparently the subreddit that I didn’t even know existed until I made this comment is now banned. This sub is now your one stop shop for all old school boobs. It’s a complete classical breast monopoly over here.
I won’t comment on the boob, but I can’t imagine those packs on her back aren’t light. If she doesn’t have a child nearby, carrying that stuff could have also opened her kimono.
Why are 99% of pictures on this sub just female nudity? Is that what it is supposed to be?
And if you’re one of the small percentage of nerds like me who were wondering, no, Tarawa Atoll is not named after tawara bags, it comes from the Kirabati word for passage, and already had had that name for a while before the Japanese showed up.
Meredith, your boob is out.
Death stranding dlc.
Hey I think I may actually be able to preempt a question on here.
To anyone wondering about her teeth- It was in style at the time for women to stain their teeth black; a practice called ohaguro. Usually married women of some means engaged in this practice, though it was not uncommon for men and women both to do it regardless of marital status much longer ago than the Meiji era. It helped to preserve teeth by lacquering them, and those who could spend the time to keep their teeth as black as possible showed their higher societal status.
I like that her backpack rig reaches to the ground so she can take a break as required.
TIL that flip flops have a longer history than I thought
This has basically been my “work from home” look for the past two years…
This is Tanjiro’s grandma lol
Wanted to let you all know that it was completely normal back in those days for women to take off their shirts when they were hot. It was natural, not considered indecent. They were just hot and needed to cool off. Just like men take their shirts off. I wish I could take mine off sometimes but in Southern USA that’s a no no.
Standard tawara weight is 60 kg, she is strong AF!
the title describes everything but the reason this post is getting upvoted
There’s just something uniquely beautiful about this picture, not in a sexual way.
As someone who has worked farm labor and carried heavy shit in the sun, I can say from experience sometimes you just gotta air dem tiddies out
Don’t get distracted and keep your eyes on the prize: that’s some striking clothing she’s wearing, I can’r remember ever seeing anything like it before.
my grandad went their after Japan surrendered in WW2… he said the women were largely topless in the villages
I like how this is not safe for work but the person in the photo is literally doing work.
