In 1902 the
Stockholm illustrated monthly
Ord och Bild published an article, "
On foot in Japan", by the Swedish nobleman and naval officer
S. Natt och Dag, who had been on a walking holiday in Japan together with two of his officer friends.
The article was illustrated by a number of photographs, which document people and places in the Japanese countryside in the beginning of the 20th century:
