Japanese Scenic Celluloid

This is a very unique celluloid purse because it features two different scenes on the same purse. On the front is a Japanese woman walking through the snow. A servant holds a parasol over head. Both women are wearing geta sandals. The reverse side of the purse shows a bridge and a tori gate covered in snow.

Collection of Jennifer Whitehair
