Information on this photograph online appears to be almost non-existent but there are bits and pieces in the photograph we can see. All men appear to have Chonmage, a form of traditional topknot haircut most commonly associated with the Edo period and samurai. It’s also apparent with the men being armed with Katanas and Wakizashi that these are in fact samurai. Most of the men are dressed in what seems to be Yukata, casual summer clothing. While others dress in more western looking clothing, most notable being the man with the red vest. The man sitting furthest to the left has a Jingasa “war hat” in his hand, commonly worn by samurai and ashigaru (foot soldiers employed by the samurai class). The men appear to be having their photo taken in some kind of garden with a Kasuga-dōrō behind the men on the left. A stone lantern which is very common at both temples and shrines.
