EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "AVQ-A-004320-0008" takes us back to June 1895 in Jokohama, Japan. Captured by the talented photographer August Egli, it showcases a young Japanese individual dressed in traditional attire while engaged in the intricate process of silk production. The image transports us into the world of silk worms and their transformation from insects to arthropods. It offers a glimpse into the fascinating realm of invertebrates that play a vital role in creating this luxurious textile. The scene is filled with an air of industry as we witness the meticulous work involved in producing silk. The young Japanese person featured exudes masculinity and strength, embodying both tradition and cultural heritage through their clothing choice. Their costume reflects not only fashion but also represents an important aspect of Japanese identity and national pride. Through this photograph, Egli provides us with more than just a visual representation; he delves into anthropology, ethnography, and folklore. We are invited to explore the rich tapestry of Asian populations and their unique customs. As we admire this remarkable piece captured over a century ago by Egli August, let us appreciate its historical significance rather than focusing on any commercial use associated with it. This print serves as a window into another time - one where craftsmanship was revered, traditions were cherished, and textiles like silk held immense value within society's fabric.
