Animated stereoviews of old Japan. 28 Oct 2009 In the late 19th and early 20th century, enigmatic photographer T.
Enami (1859-1929) captured a number of 3D stereoviews depicting life in Meiji-period Japan. [Sumo wrestlers] A stereoview consists of a pair of nearly identical images that appear three-dimensional when viewed through a stereoscope, because each eye sees a slightly different image. This illusion of depth can also be recreated with animated GIFs like the ones here, which were created from Flickr images posted by Okinawa Soba. Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire 03.avi.
