Looks like;
First image, Kanto government officials.
Second image, customs above and below national railways.
Third image, I believe to be court dress.
Japan like Germany, had a great many uniformed organizations, not just in Japan but also in Korea.

Ad Japanese uniform
Many thanks!
Meanwhile I found:
First image above - this uniform was being used in Korea, at least between 1907 and 1910. See uniforms of residents-general Hirobumi Itō: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ito_Hirobumi.jpg ,

and Arasuke Sone: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sone_Arasuke.jpg .
First image, in the middle - this uniform belongs to japanese colonial officials in Taiwan (1899 design). See (page is in Chinese): http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%87%BA%E7%81%A3%E7%B8%BD%E7%9D%A3%E5%BA%9C%E6%96%87%E5%AE%98%E6%9C%8D%E8%A3%9D .
First image, below - this uniform belongs to japanese Kanto government officials.
Second image, third line below (under railways uniforms) - this uniform probably belongs to port administration.

Japanese Uniforms
For this link {http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%87%BA%E7%81%A3%E7%B8%BD%E7%9D%A3%E5%BA%9C%E6%96%87%E5%AE%98%E6%9C%8D%E8%A3%9D} I've found google translator a little hit and miss regarding accuracy, although it does come up with some amusing alternatives.
The plug-in Quick Translator makes a little bit more sense out of the pages but this is still not anywhere near a 100%.
Has anyone found the perfect translator?

I also used Google Translator and compared the translation of this text from Chinese and Japanese (thus I partially eliminated some inaccuracies). But the result was still far from perfect.

Japanese Uniforms
Tadao Nakata's book, Imperial Japanese Army and Navy printed 1973, is a very good reference for Imperial Japanese uniforms.
The down side of the book is that a number of illustrations are of poor quality.
The upside was the eight page English language summary that informs you of what's on the page without going into details.
An example of this would be page sixty which has illustrations of government officials, the summary doesn't give details of titles or ranks.
Considering this book was printed over forty years ago and the amount of interest in Japanese uniforms, I haven't seen it or it's equivalent printed English.
A book that deals with the pre 1930's Japanese uniforms that's reasonably priced with An English sub text would be very nice.
I don't believe after over forty years that an English translation will be coming out soon. Not going to happen, is it?
