Photographer T. Enami (1859-1929) captured a series of 3D stereoviews showing life of the Japanese during the Meiji-period. Stereoview photographs are two almost identical photos that when put together as an animation, gives the viewer a feeling of dimension. Who would think such subtlety would bring these old pictures to life and make them pop.
