Japan’s First Schoolgirl Uniform

Mainichi’s English edition posted an article over the weekend about two private high schools that are claiming to have first introduced the sailor-style schoolgirl uniform to Japan. While the story of the dispute is a good one, I found this old photograph of the first school uniform used by Heian Jogakuin to be far more interesting. What’s up with that creepy dog-like creature standing below the schoolgirl?!

I believe the dog and the background are both painted. That’s why the dog looks so strange.
