Perhaps as a child you played with sunlight by reflecting it off of shiny objects, such a mirror, watch face, or metal object onto a wall or ceiling. Spots or patterns on the object were not reflected, which caused shapes or patterns to be visible in the reflection. What if there were no spots or patterns on the surface, but an image was projected in the reflection? Mirrors that were smooth with unadorned surfaces, but caused an image to appear in the reflection, were that were produced in the Edo period (1603-1867).
