Vintage Photo circa 1947 : Possibly Members of the Komakusa Club

            Vintage, found photo of Japanese origin purchased from a dealer in Japan. Features a group of 15 young ladies posed outside a building.

I had someone who studied a bit of Japanese attempt to translate the writing on back. It translated to English something like:
Date : "1947 the 22nd year of the era? Age of the Women?"
Place: "Komakusa"
"Yoshiko Tezuka's Class
Celebrating the farewell of the members of the Komakusa Association"

Komakusa is a Japanese flower variety, similar to Bleeding Hearts.
