- General
- Title taken from print.
- The photographer's original identification number, 87, and original title, Coolie Winter Dress, are printed in the bottom right corner.
- This print also published under title, Man in Winter Costume, with date 1870s, attributed to Baron von Stillfried. Worswick, Clark (1979). Japan: Photographs. New York: Penwick Publishing.
- According to Henry Rosin, when Kusakabe Kimbei bought Von Stillfried's photography shop, he also bought the negatives. He added his titles and numbers as Von Stillfried had done with Beato's stock. This image, as shown in Worswick, does not have the Kimbei title, but the one in the collection does.

- Biographical / Historical
- Born to a family of textile merchants in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture, Kusakabe Kimbei moved to Yokohama in 1859. Although unclear, Kusakabe apprenticed under either Felice Beato and/or Raimond von Stillfried (Bennet, T. (1996) Early Japanese Images. Charles E. Tuttle Company: Rutland, Vermont and Tokyo, Japan.) Kusakabe managed a studio in Yokohama, first at Bentendori until 1881, then later at Honcho. His photo studio was well received by many, including foreigners.
