Back in my day, WTF meant something

Japan didn't become the capital of WTF overnight, the level of strange that they have takes hundreds of years to cultivate. Here's a collection of photos from the 1800s documenting some of the early WTFs from Japan.








These pictures are from Okinawa Soba's photostream on flickr, its worth a look.

    yeah the last 2 are representations from the japanese myth. so.. no. there is no WTF. in this case it's ignorance on your behalf.

    The dressing in the 2nd pic is reminiscent of those from ancient Southeast Asia. The roman pillars in the background are bit strange, though.
