No.1145 Carpenter Holding an Ink Pot

Building houses dressed like this is something we no longer see today. Unlike now, they worked in light clothing for easy movement. Everyone used to work dressed like this in the old days. I think this is my father in his twenties. He's holding a sumitsubo (ink pot) for marking timber. I couldn't throw away the professional carpenter's tools my father used, so I've kept them all.
