This is a historical photograph of a Shinto priest, as indicated by the caption "SHINTO PRIEST" at the bottom of the image. The priest is wearing traditional ceremonial robes in a mint green color with circular decorative patterns. The garment appears to be multiple layers, with a long outer robe over what seems to be hakama (traditional divided skirt-like pants). The priest is wearing traditional white tabi socks and has a distinctive ceremonial hat on his head. A long white beard is visible, and they appear to be holding what might be ceremonial implements. The setting appears to be inside a traditional Japanese building, with characteristic shoji screens or similar architectural elements visible in the background. The photograph has a sepia-like tone typical of early photography in Japan, and is mounted in what appears to be a decorative frame or mat.
