Picture of the Day - Miscellaneous

By the way, Japanese film makers like Konica and Fuji Film produced as many as 200,000 rolls reversal color films during the war and they were mostly burned except few maker samples in August 1945 when the war was over. I wondered if any traces were left in the printed materials and I begin to guess these pictures are not colorized ones.



Added pic.

I've confirmed there were both colorized and not-colorized color pictures in Japan during the war.
