Dezső Bozóky hand-coloured glass diapositive. Photograph taken by Dezső Bozóky. A dirt road with Japanese houses and shops on its left side, Korean ones on its right. In the foreground, two Korean men are approaching in traditional costumes, a young boy half turns back to watch the camera as he walks away. A rickshaw and several pedestrians can be seen in the background. The shop signs and advertisements are in Japanese; the sign of a tatami shop can be seen towards the centre.
