I'm always intrigued when I come across a new tea-related stereoscopic image on the Library of Congress website. I don't know how I've missed this one in the past, but it's titled "Picking tea in the tea fields, Japan," and it's from 1906.
On this one, I really had to let my gaze wander as I semi-focused on the middle of the card, but then it worked, and I could almost feel the prickle of the tea leaves in those tea fields.
Here's a link to the original image if you'd like to download it yourself!
Thank you for sharing that very interesting photo with us! (although I can rarely get those stereographic images to assume their 3-D form). The photo made me realize that I knew little about tea growing in Japan--I then found a helpful article on Wikipedia under the title of "Tea Culture in Japan."
