Description
Photograph of a man driving an ox as it grinds grain, [s.d.]. The man with long hair, short pants and no shirt sits on a wooden device on the right with stone wheels beneath him. The device is harnessed to the ox so that as the ox is driven around in a circle the wheel grind into the earth. A deep ring is already carved into the ground from this routine. A wall of tall grass stands behind the team while a small home stands in the background on the right. Photo sleeve reads "Japanese, Chinese, Korean".
