Old photos of Japan from a hundred years ago: Japanese Oiran travels a little weird, and the samurai are short and have strange hairstyles

The scene revealed by old Japanese photographs from a hundred years ago is jaw-dropping: the graceful figure of the Oiran has a strange atmosphere,

The samurai, on the other hand, showed short statures and bizarre hairstyles.

Could it be that the truth of the historical record has been distorted?

Or was it a very different social landscape than we know it to be?
