4 | Flickr user yves Tennevin has located and uploaded some fascinating hand-colored photos of Japan from the 19th century, just after the country had opened its doors to the rest of the world. | Nitily toerana i yves Tennevin ary nampakatra ny sasantsasany tamin'ìreo sary mahazendana nolokoina tamin'ny tànana ahitàna an'i Japàna tamin'ny taonjato faha-19, taorian'ny nanokafan'io firenena io indrindra ny varavarany ho an'izao tontolo izao. |
5 | The photos are all available as part of the public domain, and are assumed to have been taken in Japan in the late 1880s by Italian-born early photographer Adolfo Farsari. | Hita amin'ny sehatra natao ho an'ny daholobe daholo ireo sary rehetra, ary heverina ho tao Japàna no nalain'i Adolfo Farsari, teratany Italiana mpakasary, tany amin'ny faramparan'ny 1880. |
6 | Many of his prints are hand-colored, a practice that was fairly common in Japan in the late 19th Century when Farsari traveled there. | Maro amin'ireo fanontàna navoakany no nolokoina tamin'ny tànana, fomba fanao iray izay nahazatra ihany tao Japàna tany amin'ny faran'ny taonjato faha-19, rehefa injay nitsidika tao i Farsari. |
7 | Judging by his photos, Farasari traveled far and wide around Japan, and documented almost everything he came across. | Raha ny sary nataony no tsaraina, nandeha lavitra nitety ny manodidina an'i Japàna i Farsari, ary nandrakitra saika ny zavatra rehetra nolalovany mihitsy. |

10 | It is fairly obvious that Farsari staged most of his photos. | Somary hita mibaribary ihany hoe nasian'i Farsari fikarakaràna ny ankamaroan'ireo sariny. |
11 | | Midika io fa tsy dia milaza mandrakariva ny tena zavamisy loatra ireo sary entiny anehoana an'i Japàna, ary angamba mety nandray anjara tamin'ny fanefena ny fomba fijerin'ny tany ivelany momba ilay firenena vao avy nisokatra, fa tsy tena maneho taratra ny fomba fijerin'i Japàna ny tenany manokana. |
12 | This means that his portrayal of Japan was not always accurate, and may have contributed to the perception the outside world had about the newly opened country, rather than reflecting how Japan perceived itself. | Indrisy, tsy ny sary rehetra asongadin'i Farsari no misy maribolana, araka izany dia sarotra ny mamaritra ny toerana nakàna azy ireny. |
13 | Unfortunately, not all of Farsari's prints feature captions, so it can be difficult to determine where they are taken. | Japan circa 1886. Loharano: yves Tennevin, mpampiasa Flickr, nampiasàna lisansa ho an'ny daholobe. |
14 | It is hard to say if this is how Japanese people would have enjoyed a garden, or if it is just the way Farsari asked his subjects to pose for the photo. | Sarotra ny hilaza raha tena izao no mety ho fisitrahan'ireo Japoney ny zaridaina, na fomba iray fotsiny io nanaingàn'i Farsari ny olony hàka toerana ho alaina sary. Japan circa 1886. |
15 | It is possible this photo is of Yokohama. | Loharano: yves Tennevin, nampiasàna lisansa ho an'ny daholobe. Mety ho Yokohama ity sary ity. |
16 | Just thirty years before this photo was taken, Yokohama would have been a quiet fishing village. | Telopolo taona monja talohan'ny nakàna ity sary ity, mety ho tanàna nilamina nonenan'ny mponjono i Yokohama. Japan circa 1886. |
17 | Some of Farsari's travels took him to more remote locations where it was possible to capture what daily life would have been like for people outside of the cities. | Loharano : yves Tennevin, nampiasàna lisansa ho an'ny daholobe. Ny sasany tamin'ireo diany nataon'i Farsari dia nitondra azy tany amin'ireo toerana lavitra izay afaka nakàna sary ny endriky ny fiainana andavanandro ho an'ireo olona ivelan'ny tanàndehibe. |
18 | | Toy ny mpanjono ireto lehilahy ireto, manamboatra bika mba ho an'ny sarin'i Farsari hanehoan-dry zareo ny fandrobohana an-drano ny làkany. |
19 | These are likely fishermen, posing for Farsari to show how they launched their boats. | Japan circa 1886. Loharano : yves Tennevin, mpampiasa Flickr, nampiasàna lisansa ho an'ny daholobe. |
20 | Many of Farsari's images would be of ubiquitous symbols of Japan. | Maro amin'ny sary nalain'i Farsari no toy ny marika maneho hatraiza hatraiza an'i Japàna. |
21 | A bigger selection of Farsari's photos are available in a variety of places around the web as well. | Fantina goavana iray amin'ireo sary nopihan'i Farsari no azo jerena amin'ny toerana samihafa manerana ny tranonkala. |
22 | The Nagasaki Library Collection's selection of Farsari's photos includes descriptive captions about where the photographs were taken. | Ny fantin'ny Nagasaki Library Collection amin'ny sarin'i Farsari dia ahitàna maribolana famariparitana momba ny toerana nakàna ireo sary. |
23 | If you like these you may want to check out another old Japan photoset from the same era, taken by Japanese photographer T.Enami. | Raha tianao ireo, mety tianao ihany koa ny hitsirika hijery andian-tsary tranainy iray hafa momba an'i Japàna avy amin'io vanimpotoana io ihany, saingy ilay Japoney mpakasary, T.Enam0, no naka azy. |
