Any info as to what team, or person, etc would help, thanks, Mike

I believe it is from that tour. I don't know the players shown, but the caption says it is the US pro team vs Waseda University.

Thanks Robert.......I tried to look at other pictures to match the socks pattern, but sometimes it seems American players are wearing socks and footwear that the Japanese are wearing.
Anyway, appreciate the confirmation and translation.
Are these scare? Mike

Hi All......just got this in the mail today....a wonderful photo of the Omori Baseball Team. Judging by the type of photo and way it us presented, my guess would by early 1900's.......could be older......but I'm not sure. The only mark is in the corner where it says " SHINOHARA PHOTO STUDIO" with Kanji writing below.
The photo itself measures 5 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches and it us attached to the thin cardboard backing which measures 8 3/8 by 10 7/8 inches.
I finishing up my baseball room and have an area where I want to display a few Japanese images, not sure if to frame this or not.
I recently got a great 1931 Yakyukai Bromide large image of Osama Mihara, who played against the All Americans in 1934.

Any additional info someone may have on this would be appreciated, thanks, Mike

A bit more contemporary than most things in this thread, but here's a collage of items I put together relating to Hideki Matsui's 500 HR (combined) milestone.

The uniform patch is a custom/prototype I designed. A's were going nowhere at the time and this was a unique, fun moment that I wished they'd done more to promote.

This 31/2 X 5 Inch booklet is contains a photo of a unknown , to me, player'
Behind the photo it says "Send To Agawa" in Japanese. The spider & web tissue is different. If anybody is familiar with the uniform please let me know.

I just recently got these delivered.
One is a 1931 Yakyukai magazine large Bromide of Osamu Mihara, who ,in 1934 , would play against Babe Ruth and the All Americans in Japan.

The second is a postcard of the 1934 all Americans and Japanese players in Tokyo.

Enjoy, Mike
