A JAPANESE FAIRY FROM FAIRY-LAND JAPAN
Ca.1920 by an unknown photographer. Probably a TAKARAZUKA GIRL, if she had been born only 30 years earlier, she might have become a talented Geisha.
Although my photo title paints her as a Japanese 'Tinkerbell", as flickr poster Muiz Anwar points out below, she is a BEE, and not a "Fairy". On the other hand, Okinawa Soba never guarantees that my Titles are accurate.

Actually, you are right...she IS a bee ! But, I tried not to let the reality of her unreality interfere with my title ! :)

I instantly loved her and her serious study of a fairy! Thanks for posting this, I put her on her own sort of stage here:
