Vintage Japanese Playground Swing, c. 1960s




Rounding out our week of swings are these intriguing vintage Japanese constructions...they appear to be homemade out of two traditional frames, and offer a unique combination of swaying bridge and cooperative, standing swing.  I like this.

These are some of the beautiful photos by Richard Tudor Hibbert, including shots of life in Japan in the late '60s,  which can be found at the commemorative blog authored by his son Chris Hibbert
Chris says these swings were common in Japan then.
